I wonder how much of this is intentional behavior by tech companies. They want to select for workers that will tolerate their bullshit and are willing to receive some level of abuse.
If a system is designed to work a certain way it's usually not by accident. I'm not sure tech companies are interested in changing.
I wonder what free market advocates would say should be done about this issue. Why hasn't the free market done a better job of fixing this category of problems? Shouldn't it confer some kind of competitive advantage?
What if all design decisions and actions were deliberate? Or are we really to believe that all these huge corporations full of incredibly brilliant and skilled individuals are somehow too dumb and ignorant to figure out how to fix these problems?
This domain of problems is cursed. It seems similar to how a lot of political issues get mildly shitty solutions no matter what.
I'm increasingly cynical that it's ever possible to meaningfully improve human systems or that it's even worth trying. Sorry for being such a downer. It's hard enough to keep myself from being perpetually suicidal.
Most of the recommendations here actually sound pretty reasonable. Has any company implemented them and proven to be successful?
