Why is that depressing? That's the core message of Slack. Do not operate at peak efficiency, it will hurt you when you can least afford to be hurt. Don't mistake effort for value. An employee who is grinding 24/7 isn't necessarily more productive than one who is doing only 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. |

This isn't the dimension of productivity I'm talking about. I would be 10x more productive if I didn't have to do code review, didn't have to coordinate with other people when they wanted to use my systems (or vice versa), etc. However, I acknowledge that, in practice, this would actually be bad for my employer. It's better (for them) if I operate at 10% productivity and it won't be catastrophic if/when I leave.
