coughed up some electrons that declared:

Trouble with 'making work fun' is it means working at a fraction of
the speed people can reasonably do. Very true that long retention
equals ability though.

Though I see the complete reverse far too often. The keen and conscientious
employee who is ground down by continuous dick-headery.

This may manifest as:

a) Preventing an employee from adding (even trivial) improvements to their
workflow (the "we've always done it this way" or "I don't want to go out on
a limb, so get head office approval")

b) Endless and needless ********: reorgs, politics, mergers.

c) Turf control, even by peers.

Then again, I have worked mostly for the government and universities. But
I'm assured all are quite existant in the commercial sector.

Cheers
