But that's true just about everywhere now, even in companies highly praised as good places to work.

Take Apple as a shiny red example. I worked there four years after closing my business. Yes, they do a lot of good things for employees and the world at large. Exemplary, truly.

But the worker bees and their managers and their managers in turn are cogs in the machine, number and optic driven, pushed hard and incessantly for results.

"Teacher tired is being asked, especially during COVID-19, to be a telemarketer, IT specialist, social worker, and so much more. Teacher tired is having constantly changing expectations and initiatives, and never getting enough time to actually adjust to the last initiative and grading policy."

Yes, all that as well.

Imagine what it's like in the crappy companies.
