    people have lives far, far beyond the scope of offices and business. people have dreams, desires, goals that matter a trillion times more than ‘mentorship’ or ‘organizational productivity’ ever, ever could.

    centering these discussions around business-school shit is being fundamentally blind. the fact that we have to cloak everything in ‘productivity’ language is a sick show of penance.

      That’s fine that people have lives outside of work, but employers aren’t paying people to have good lives. An employer isn’t going to self advocate for less productivity.
