It can be exhausting and stressful. Although the constant stream of information and change might be what life is like in our world, this doesn’t make it less impactful on our mental health.
Workers aren’t ignorant about what their companies do and how their work contributes to the company; they don’t care. Nor should they. Not when the company’s profits can reach astronomical new highs and workers are lucky to get a raise that matches the cost of living increase for that year. Not when we can work our asses off to be successful remotely and continue to make the company all that profit only to be told that we have to come back to the office every day at our own expense. Not when 10% of them got laid off to ensure that the shareholders and CEO’s got theirs.
People aren’t detached from the company because it hasn’t explained what they do correctly. They simply don’t give a flying fuck about a company that hasn’t given a flying fuck about them their entire careers.
