In today's workplace, a growing number of employers are beginning to evaluate employee value based on "immediate availability"—such as being constantly online and responding quickly—rather than long-term contributions. Meanwhile, some employees advocate for measuring performance primarily through work outcomes and creativity. The conflict between these two evaluation systems is becoming increasingly pronounced. Which standard do you believe is more aligned with the future trends of work? Please articulate your position, and support it with reasons and concrete examples.
