LMAO the pure fucking judgement in this article, like this is a problem that needs to be solved. If someone is producing their work effectively and in less time than others that’s not something that should be eliminated. Yes, if someone is doing literally nothing and nothing is being asked of them it might be in the corporations best interest to eliminate a job like that, but the solution isn’t to fucking hover over people, it’s to actually pay attention to employee output.

But I think more importantly, why shouldn’t we be optimizing so that MORE jobs are like this? Why should jobs be 40 hours a week? Jobs shouldn’t feel bad. Jobs should provide income and give you something to do that helps out society or produces something useful. Past that point, why are we optimizing for peak productivity? So that the CEO can make another billion dollars and employees can be denied raises?

taking notes

I’ve certainly done plenty of this in my time, but it didn’t make me feel particularly good about myself at the end of the day. Some employers I was more happy to screw over than others.
