"a lot of workers have thought jobs without much time to think."
I think this is why big companies have trouble innovating. They get filled up with hard workers who spend little time time thinking because they're too busy working.
- norea-armozel 9y agoOr we create bullshit jobs for folks like David Graeber talks about in his essays. It seems to me that half of the private sector is busy work kind of work in the fashion that public institutions have. I'll never understand the fascination that certain managers have with adding useless jobs to the roster.
