Interesting take on it. I like it. But sadly this solves it for the people relying on your documentation. Not for you if you rely on anyone else's documentation if they don't act accordingly.

Maybe companies need some kind of "Chaos Monkey" system [0] in place for regular employees. Not in "terminating" random employee's contracts, but a culture were regular, maybe even some kind of random transferals on

I think one of the problems from "being indispensable" is the direction it takes. Being indispensable in regards to people "being left holding the bag while new initiatives are undertaken" means they are/were indisp

I remember reading "Anything you want" by Derek Sivers. There he describes, that he actually went towards "my company would just be fine without me" with his own company. So regardless of being an employee doing bodyleas

Is there something like a "definitive truth"? Being an atheist, I would say, that this is an overly simplistic view. But that would be my personal take on that. Utilitarianism isn't a rational choice. What if - in my extreme

In the end, what you are asking comes down to some form of the "Trolley Problem" [0]. The critique towards the Trolley Problem can be directed towards your (very) hypothetical scenario as well: > In a 2014 paper published in th

In Germany local municipalities for example pay for renovations of churches. The case I knew from my hometown was that the Church (as in country organization) payed one third. The congregation hat to pay one third as well and the secular mu

Agreed. We are different. That's what I am implying from the get go. And so are many others. I totally get that people want to return to the office. To socializing, to chats at the coffee machine. That people want to travel to clients.

I wasn't in the military and my knowledge stems only from others' personal accounts and what I read about it. I agree for the need of context. Because only then can the operative understand why it is important what they are doing

What I took away from this article is that the author(s) don't seem to have a feedback cycle outside their bubble. Hopefully the discussion here might help a bit. I read a lot of valid criticism here that should (in best case) already

I agree. Totally. I am one of the worst people in open plan offices. I have very many remote meetings. I have days with 7 hours of meetings. Why should I stress my colleagues with talking the whole day into a computer.

> As far as I know it is not yet endemic. But will be. Just a minor nitpick. As much as lots of people did not want to be forced to stay at home now maybe even an equal amount of people don't want to return to the office every day.

I try to neither delude myself nor others. I try to understand what makes people tick. And act the way they do. Unilaterally declaring other insane or crazy or anything like that, while making ourselves feel good and superior, doesn't

Wow. When I was a kid I was on holiday playing together with Russians, Brits, Belgians and other German kids. While the Russian kids were playing by the rules (at least not significantly outside of that) especially the British kiddos did ev

You start by "suggesting Russians are playing a rational game..." but literally the next sentence is condescending western rhetoric. We don't know the strategy and the plan. We might, even maybe reasonably, deduce that Russia

Due process might not be so clear cut [0]. But that might be tainted by my personal values. I personally value a legal system that refrains from the potential of killing an innocent person. [0]: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/

I might misinterpret you. But why do we need to soften the blow? Why do we need to appear reasonable and cheerful at dreadful life events? They suck. We are allowed our "negative" emotions. We need to allow the shame and fear and
