The Reality of Big Tech's 'Fake work' Problem

"I think COVID was an accelerator for fake work because a lot of these tech companies hired. Then they weren't sure what to do with a lot of the people,"

Fascinating tale of misaligned incentives in organisations which grew too big, too fast. Switching between teams (a form of internal mobility…), empire building by managers inflating headcount and the individual career incentives in working in the latest, newest techniques and technologies as opposed to doing what is right for the organisation. Any of this sound familiar?
