The assessment of what counts as “fake” and “not fake” work as determined by some CEO is worth less than nothing. If you’re doing it as part of your job, it’s work, end of story. The distinction of “fake” vs “non-fake” work is just a tool against worker solidarity, and making the distinction is only worth anything to business owners and management, because their job is to extract your surplus labor.
Agreed. In addition, this modern obsession with worker productivity, where you’re purposely not given any downtime to collect your thoughts or reflect on your achievements and failures is a big driver in creating this “fake” or perhaps better described as “unproductive” work in the first place.
I hate this.
