I agree with all of this, but it's really depressing to me that even somebody like Mironov just takes this as a given: "Companies, especially executive teams, can generate a lot of chaos: 'small' interrupts, sudden shifts, cross-functional blame, budget jousting".
Like, I get that the toddler executive is the predominant worker experience under managerialist capitalism. And I get that is the consequence of entrenched ideologies and power structures. But I would like for more people to start leavening their "here is how you survive in a terrible system" advice with at least an occasional suggestion that this how things are in this historical moment. And ideally some ideas on how to start tilting things toward some saner future.
