Productivity like optimism is the indoctrinated carrot on a stick. “Work hard and you efforts will be recognized and rewarded” “utilize well at least and/or it could always be worse when you get the shaft or when instead of getting rewarded you get exploited you can use a “well at least” to make you keep keep reaching for the carrot. When one thoughtlessly recites sham-sayings like “it could always be worse” what amount of exploitation won’t you endure? And mind you these sayings are one-way streets too; try showing up to work a week late and ask your boss to use the “well at least he didn’t not show up to work 2 weeks late” “it could always be worse, he could have taken two un-planned weeks off”. Point being all that self-serving BS Tony Robbins book selling philosophies on work/ life and attitude are just to keep the dregs of society cranking out the widgets fast and cheap while a few at the top make 1000’s of dollars per hour while peddling the notion that 15$ an hour is way too crazy a number! It’s all BS.
