hmm -- his 'transemployment' concept where complex processes are created and assigned to people as 'jobs' is brutal. We've all worked at process-heavy orgs and most of us have left them.
Process-heavy orgs will get out-competed by orgs managed almost any other way. If you're optimized to create useless work for people, you'll probably lose to an org that's optimized for something almost as silly like optimizing for high cost of labor. My consultancy is optimized for high cost of labor and I do okay.
Some people argue this is what's happening to France now. 40 years of shaping labor law to improve retirement & reduce unemployment has taken its toll. Paris is a smart tech-savvy and beautiful city that could have been Europe's silicon valley, but you're not allowed to work more than 40 hours a week and you can't fire people. Ah, 20-20 hindsight.
