OH MY FUCKING GOD I THOUGHT THIS WAS A SHITPOST THIS IS A REAL ARTICLE
Bartleby is satirical
Oh thank god
Is it? I found this page and nothing indicates it’s satirical at first glance (and no way I’m registering to read that).
"Thoughts on management and the world of work, in the spirit of the “scrivener” of Herman Melville’s 1853 novel" from https://www.economist.com/bartleby
Even there, though, nothing explicitly states it’s satire. I found the column’s introduction and even there it doesn’t seem ironic at all.
