So… I’ve dealt with people who take this girl’s approach to their work, when their work getting done well was necessary for something I needed, and I definitely didn’t like it. I also think this girl in the article is extremely at risk of having her job replaced by an AI and winding up behind the 8 ball when that happens and the market gets that much more challenging.
That said, for as bad as it is, I think this is actually closer to the answer than is everyone working for Amazon and peeing in bottles and $26k per year and no health insurance.
