I feel we have a huge collective blindspot - hard work is emphasized at the expense of working smart. Mode than half of all work in our society is unnecessary and inefficient busywork.

Once you start considering efficiency of peoples work, it's very difficult to have a consistent framework.

Source? Data? That sounds completely made up and does not match the reality I live in, at all.

I am not sure about hard data, but it matches my perception very well and is a widely discussed observation:

If you search meaningless jobs or bullshit jobs, you will find countless articles, and various percentages given, from 25% to 70%. I think it's safe to say the number I not zero
