This idea, that work is theater, the only thing that matters is the performance, not actually getting work done, etc. is to me symptomatic of some kind of bubble. Real work has always been about work, and if people aren't really working it means that we're in for some sort of correction. Whether that means layoffs, incumbents getting beat out by companies actually doing real work, or something else, I don't know.
