> The canonical point of a workplace is to come together to fulfill the aims of the entrepreneurs. Have you ever worked for a large company, that's flush with cash, that likes to offer borderline ridiculous perks to employees (e.g. Google, Facebook, etc.)? Usually there are relatively few people at these companies who do the work that actually moves the proverbial needle. There are a lot of people at these companies who only ever get to work on some vanity project motivated by internal politics. Work that literally doesn't matter, that the owners don't actually care about, and that's eventually going to get thrown away after being used as some sort of bargaining chip. But smart people often want to feel like they're doing "important" work, so we dress it up with goals and deadlines and KPIs to make it seem important. A lot of these workplaces can more accurately be described as "day care for adults."
