Hellish workplace for knowledge workers:
- Constantly interrupt them
- Distracting tech (Slack, IM, Teams, smart phones)
- No work-home boundary
- Measure productivity by activity
- No prioritizing
- 1-hour mtgs default
- No time for deep work

@amydiehl @Gracchus I still get flashbacks to a previous job that used to sometimes interrupt our work in the middle of the day with meetings whose only purpose was to discuss why we hadn’t got enough work done

@joannaholman Let's all go sit in the conference room for an hour (or more) and hash out why we aren't more productive. lol
