That's interesting; I feel like like it's the opposite: What used to be great work is basically unfathomable today and what used to be regular productivity is seen as almost superhuman. People get almost nothing done nowadays and I've never felt like expectations were ever really at the level they ought to be at, especially with how much money people are getting.

Some people are more productive. Others less so.

There is a tension between the two groups.

Some workers think meetings are great. Others hate them.
