I feel like, a while ago, we've entered some weird sort of alienation from work event horizon where the people at the top absolutely forgot you need "person who does stuff" eventually. Like it's so many levels and excel spreadsheets and white papers and what have you removed the idea that the people who produce things aren't some aetheric blob but like, actual people doing things, is forgotten.

Only when the last process has been streamlined, the final KPI hit, and the final downsizing accomplished, will we realize we cannot build from money or something
