On communication

Here is a pregnant thought: there is in this day and age a popular belief that everything is all about communication. Like if some political party loses, the fault is never that nobody wants the policies they offering; it’s always that they’ve failed to communicate their benefits enough.

Similarly it’s popular that people should say thank you instead of apologising, like “thank you for waiting” instead of “sorry I’m late”.

Furthermore no company ever increases prices, rather they “adjust“ them.

When companies use the bad times to strengthen their grip and control of their workforce, and mandate them back to the office, they are doing them a favour, because apparently that’s where the Magic happens. At the office.

I’ve never seen that.

It’s like they all have a firm belief that as long as they get to coat it in enough amount of thick layers of bullshit, people will swallow everything.

That’s absurd.
