Fake Work: Why People Are Working Harder than Ever but Accomplishing Less, and How to Fix the Problem

It’s a constant struggle to prioritize and understand what is real work and what is fake work. the costs of fake work are not always apparent and there’s some good discussion around some of the 2nd order impacts of fake work.

on the whole, I found this to be an interesting and relevant discussion on the topic. it got a little tedious and repetitive at times but gets the point across. it could be shorter by a good 30-40% and still have conveyed the concepts.

even if you’re not in management and have retained the use of your frontal lobes. the coverage is beneficial.
