It's about getting things done if you're a business. If you're an employee, and your goal is to have money to afford a nice life, it's about extracting money from the business - which, strangely, is often maximized in ways that don't involve "getting things done" i.e. delivering the business any actual value.
If you want to get ahead in your career or financially - the WORST thing you can do is mindlessly do a good job at what you're told to do or what you think (after spending much effort) is the best use of your time.
It's about very specifically checking the boxes that get your more pay or moving up in your career or whatever it is you're after.

Businesses that pay people who don't provide value are soon to go out of business.
