The irony with all these oligarch statements is that if an employee applies their economic philosophy in a direct manner, the outcome would be that the employees’ sole goal should be to work as little as possible to gain as much money as possible while not getting fired.
You want to optimize your return per hour if you are salaried. It would make logical sense that you need to lower the amount of hours worked to get the highest possible return on a per hour basis.
You would also want to focus on approaches that make it difficult to fire you as opposed to focusing on organizational goals.
I am not saying I agree or disagree with this approach, there are clearly many issues with what I am saying (other poor souls will have to pick up the slack for your laziness), just highlighting the inherent contradictions of oligarch propaganda.
This is what I’ve been doing for over 10 years, I get promotions/raises regularly. Make yourself indispensable and easy to work with, but also do as little as possible. People will love you for it, because you’re always calm, laid back, and save the day regularly. The work you’re not doing is irrelevant, if the work you do is appreciated.

You are totally right. Thanks for this thought.
