True, "doesn't provide meaning" isn't actionable to the company, but it's no less so than graduate school. And if it forces your manager to think about meaning in their own life, all the better. I'm really not a fan of this "keep everything strictly professional" idea. I think it's dying out slowly, and good thing: putting humanity back in work is exactly what we need, both for ourselves and ultimately the planet.
