"The solution is to use management."

Not sure what you mean by that, but KPIs are generally put in place by high-level management. Or do you want more micromanagement?

Either way, I think the solution is not more control, quite the opposite. I think the solution is just to remove the extrinsic incentives.

Some people say UBI will cause people to do nothing and that is probably true, but the flip side is that the output of the remaining people will likely be many times higher both in volume and quality (with the total volume much lower but higher quality). Not having their energy completely destroyed by all the busy work necessary to show they are working.
