The irony is that while the words are stupid (“alignment”, “intentionality” and “end-state visions”) - this pretty good actually.
Most white collar jobs are full of 'waking sleep' - and if we focus on outcomes, and drive them forward with intentional work - we would be more productive.
"Bullshit jobs" - if you doing anything to move the ball forward - like working a checkout or pumping gas - your job may feel meaningless, but it's not BS by any means. Middle management tends to be the most BC. And many gov. jobs.
"US employee now spends 45% of their working day doing their real job. The other 55% is spent doing things such as wading through endless emails or attending pointless meetings."
This is part of the job. Communicating is work, and we can't be 100% efficient at all times.
