“The article notes that one copywriter lost all 10 of his clients over the last four months — and though one later hired him back, he’s now training to be a plumber.”

This is not good, but also I’ve been advocating for people to learn how to be plumbers for at least 10 years… when plumbing no longer requires a person, nothing will require a person.

Hopefully, we reorganize society to realize that people still matter, but, plumbing is now the Turing test that matters

“Come work for us! It’s fun and rewarding and we paid for this building so you’re gonna fucking sit in it whether that’s useful or productive or you want to or not, we aren’t measuring it and don’t care. Not in your own office or anything obviously, that’s crazy talk. You won’t even get your own chair. And we’re not paying you more for commute time or covering vehicle/transit costs or anything. This is about much, much more important things: performative management and amortizing real estate.”
