Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected].
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

(I want to say first that I'm not trying to invalidate your feelings or perspective or anything!)
This feels like the logical result of a society that statistically punishes creativity in most cases, and rewards pointlessly running on a stationary hamster wheel of emails, spreadsheets, and slideshows, that nobody with a pulse is actually going to read.
We all like to think we're completely in control of ourselves, but most creatures of all kinds quickly get a sense for what produces a reward for less effort.
I think you're absolutely right, but in our company this will turn out to be shortsighted. Because we would actually need some creativity to do better in order to save our jobs.
