They want to convince us that we “want” to be productive so that it seems to be our decision that we want to be trampled by our bosses, who are the ones who crave that productivity.
That’s the only difference between a dictatorship and a democracy. A dictatorship can run with dying illiterate slaves and still make a lot of money (see Elons Dad’s small loan of one emerald mine). In a democracy the money comes from the productivity of the citizens. That’s the only reason you get highways, schools, hospitals…
So they started out by making us more productive by giving a ton of amenities to the boomers. But now they need more, so they are cutting back on things that make us productive, while demanding we be more productive.
We should just eat the rich.
Enhancing your productivity without an increase in your wage is just bending over even more for the people stealing your labor value.
If you do get more efficient be sure to take longer breaks to offset it.
“productivity is for robots”
I don’t remember where I read that, but it’s my life motto now.
I’m gonna make a slightly different take that isn’t centered around work. Productivity in general is a really good trait that should be encouraged. I am a much more fulfilled and happy person having been productive throughout my day like working on personal projects, going on a run, reading a book, cleaning my apartment, etc. IMO there is a lot of wasted time in social media, bingeing shows, etc. that doesnt really fulfill me. Not saying these things are bad, just that if I’m not productive I fill my time with things which really don’t matter. There are a lot of really awesome things out there that epitomize the phrase “labor of love”.
Obviously, have some self respect and don’t destroy yourself for the sake of productivity especially when its for someone else.
Like everything in life, it’s about moderation
I only wanna do it because I work for myself now. When I was a corporate worker, fuck that noise.
I want to be as efficient as possible for my job. So I can get as much done in as little amount of time as possible so I can get back to my life. Only goal
My work ebbs and flows, yet I’m in the office for 8 hours or so a day, so being as efficient as possible all the time isn’t a good fit for me.
Never for when you are in the office. Unless you can “work” by goofing around with coworkers or wandering around holding things while listening to podcasts
I have a cat on my lap. My day is pretty much fucked.
“Productivity” is a way to convince you to equate your value as a person with how much of the fruits of your labor you hand over to the ownership class.
