Not exhaustingly artificially scared, running around serving only the interest of the rider.

Grasing, in their lane, Thriving. Only running when it’s fun or actually necessary.

Actually had that thought in my bed this morning, not in the shower :D

    AFAIK there is evidence that the best management strategy is to treat workers like a limb of a multi limbed species and let them mostly coordinate their own work capacity and problems. So you are on to something. But no centralized coordination can lead to its own problems.

      See: Valve’s lost decade.

      Valve overcharges everyone so much that they could actually afford to try this and let their workers work on whatever they wanted. The end result was a cluster fuck that produced basically nothing for a decade.

      It didn’t matter, because, again, Valve rips the entire gaming industry off so badly that they were still wildly profitable, but it’s part of why we saw no sequels to any of their games.
