It's essentially portfolio management. You win some, you lose some.
And you work at a phone company, and phone companies have interesting problems. I'm sure at some point everyone there felt somewhat obligated to do something to contribute. And there's plenty of interesting things to do at the phone company.

- rqtwteye 2y ago"You win some, you lose some." Then the MBAs come in, try to reduce the "lose some" with tightly managed processes and you slowly start losing the wins. A similar thing happened at my company. During summer they would let people go at noon on Fridays resulting in a 36 hour week. Productivity stayed the same, people were happy. New VP comes in "won't we be more productive if we worked Friday afternoon?", back to 40 hours. Productivity still the same, people less happy, more people leaving.
