seems that within the tech zeitgeist there is a growing trend of salaried employees who really only pretend to work - doing at most a few hours per week, obfuscated by Zoom, LLMs, outsourcing and naturally covered by layers of bureaucracy in the typically large company they work for. what does this mean for the future? is this just a lagging zero-interest rate phenomenon, or is there something more fundamental?

This has been around for a decades, no? The new tooling sort of makes it easier to surface and offers new excuses. The more layers of management, the more prominent the issue. It's one of recurring themes in Dilbert and why Facebook, Google and Spotify used to be innovators in working culture. It's the dark-side of flexibility in working nobody really dares to talk about.

You could argue for bureaucratic inefficiency, but I haven’t experienced people truly living their life first and working only on paper before the remote-work shift. Big tech’s innovation was to make the office as awesome as possible to encourage employees to merge life with work. Today, remote work policies enable many to take a check with only a symbolic disruption to their life
