Great share, will read more. Corporate life has been skewed to the lowest common denomiator. Some of the reasons many of them create no value is "risk and HR adjusted" structure and roles. Means it is harder to be mobile and change companies. So easy to prevent linkage of individual performance to company results leading to less pay! Massive scam
The greatest lie in corporate is "we're a meritocracy" - it's impossible to be a meritocracy when you outsource your future to your boss who answers to a committee who refers to a spreadsheet.... meritocracy is only possible in its purest form up close with paying customers - they ultimately decide who's got merit. The great pretence is ending 💙
excellent article, especially that lockdowns have accelerated the young generation's realization of the truth.
This is spot on. Really needed this read. Thanks for sharing

Incredibly well thought through and written - almost a relief to read through what I amongst many others have believed for a long while now.
Look forward to reading remaining articles in this series.
This resonates hard with me. Thank you!
You are touching on things that people feel somatically but never say out loud in fear. Brilliant way of approaching storytelling. I fully resonate.
I mean the American economy has become Presidential executive order theater. Maybe a bigger problem.

Dude STFU. Stakeholder alignment don't facilitate itself and we've got kids to feed ffs
This too will end. The tide will go out...
How can it be the same in the every corner of the globe?
Perfect article!

This is so true
Thanks Mansoor
I enjoyed this article, but I swear I read it weeks ago. How is it dated September 22nd? Is it a repost or something?
