    How maximize productivity and get rich at work:

    1. Steal someone else’s labor
    2. That’s literally it!
    3. Dont worry, you can call it other things: hiring a PA to do 90% of your work for half your pay, laying off workers for AI/contractors, quietly pushing off team projects entirely onto the team, reading “productivity” books in your office all day while interns take calls, just get creative about not doing any work!

    What a load of rubbish

    Of the books I’m familiar with, there isn’t really anything good here, which puts the rest into doubt for me

    This seems like MBA shithead’s first reading list to me

        I think you mean, “Never made anyone who bought it rich”. Author made out like a bandit lol.

          Excellent point - the fact that he is still cashing in on a (bad) book written in the 90’s is absolutely wacky

    The only books there that have any real value are the philosophy books from authors who have been dead over a century. And even then you shouldn’t use their ideas whole cloth.

    All of that productivity and communication and they still used a bedsheet as the background…
