For millions of us work feels like The Office - only less funny. We’re drowning in nonsense whilst pretending it’s all perfectly rational. Endless management fads and the soundbites of self-proclaimed gurus promise to improve everything. But they never do. It’s just more pointless and annoying bullshit. But where did all this nonsense come from? Why is it so universal? And how do we make it go away? This is the story of how we got here, why we keep falling for the same rubbish, and what we can collectively do to change our belief systems and enable a better work future for all.
