Thoughts on production, alienation, and ideology
Welcome to the first book post of 2021! As with December, I’ve added a TV show to this one.
Let’s take a look at what I’m reading in the new year.
I made my previous COVID-19 data in Iowa post at the end of August 2020. After spikes in March/April and June, the COVID-19 situation in Iowa had stabilized in August. However, there were some threats looming on the horizon. Primary among those were the upcoming re-openings of K-12 schools and colleges.
Let’s take a look at what happened after August.
Senior executives claim they work a lot. How much? On average, they report working 62 hours per week. If we expand to studies including middle management, we come up with average work weeks up to a whopping 72 hours. Talk about work!
Well, yes. As we’ll see, that’s the idea. Are senior executives and other managers some new proletariat, as they want us to believe? Do they toil away at work all day like real life hero-leaders from Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged? Would the world fall apart if they quit doing what they do – if the people working under them took over their roles?
Not exactly.
