Call me cynical but, timing is sus. Look at winter figures. I’m saying well see the usual Jan drop cos of weather, he’ll claim a success and call an election.

Did we see a big productivity increase post 1980s reforms here and in the US? Not really. When we are inventing things like the car or the toilet we see significant gains but not so much with Disney+ and iPhones. Capitalism hasn’t slowed down the last 40 years but arguable relevant technological...

That’s proper shitty. I would have taken the chance to talk about the importance of communication and how a five second email could have saved hundreds of not thousands in wasted wages all round.

I do. Scientific progress has happened under all kinds of economic systems, even communism. Unless we think the wheel was VC backed.

I like a good retro where you can honestly say what the problems are. If you’ve got someone in there like a manager who can’t handle feedback it’s a total waste of time though.

HR is the biggest drag on productivity in this country. Change my mind.

Retrospective.

Amazing. By cracking down on immigrants we’ve managed to make them more privileged than British citizens. This government is so spectacularly bad it’s quite impressive.

Not a meeting but just been asked to refresh two and a half hours of training that I did nine months ago on ground breaking topics like “what’s a good password?” And “how to survive a terrorist attack”

When I was a teen I stayed at a mates house and he filled everyone’s trainers with cheesy beans over night. Horrible and genius in equal measure.

Can you expand?

Just had another hour added to my meeting load. “Insights session” where someone will go through a load of pointless graphs about how we are performing. Surely your job as a manager is to parse that shit and just tell us what’s changing and why?

Sorry dad. Will start shitting in canals and pretending to have an owl as is appropriate for a man of my age.

Because I’m not Israeli?

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing.

I quite like it. It speaks to the drudgery of the public space and officialdom. Probably not the point but that’s what I get. I wouldn’t hang it in my living room mind

Increased worker productivity through training and equipment/automation mostly. And also better infrastructure.
