If it makes the entire office more productive, wouldn't that be positive-sum, not zero-sum?
- hasbroslasher 10y agoNo, your own health, sanity and money are costs in the equation. And let's be honest: it's highly improbable that your work is doing anything for the good of humanity. In fact, it's actually very likely that your work (or some constituent part of it) carries negative environmental externalities, e.g. it's bad to do, even worse to do more of. My work certainly isn't essential to the arc of history. So what good is my productivity, especially at these costs?
