In modern corporate management, a controversial idea has reemerged, Parkinson’s Law. Proponents argue that the Law suggests that as organizations grow, individual workers tend to fill their days with less critical tasks or “busy work,” providing a rationale for tech companies to lay off significant portions of their engineering staff. They posit that by doing so, these firms will reap substantial gains in efficiency. However, this fascinating perspective contradicts my philosophical convictions about human creativity, innovation, and well-being.
