The uncomfortable truth is that most people don’t give a shit. For example, it’s absolutely shocking that the common paradigm for engineers at Google is to come in at 11am and leave at 4pm. In no world can you be working 5 hours a day and be giving a shit, and so the conclusion is that very little meaningful work gets done at Google. Maybe a bit of a hyperbole, but not far from the truth. That culture is broken.

    I like how "giving a shit" is all about workers grinding themselves to the bone.

    Will the author listen to workers who give a shit about improving processes, using their better knowledge of how the business works? I doubt it.

    Maybe I'm projecting too much because I'm burned out after giving too much of a shit about improving things, and getting all those efforts shit on by clueless executives.
