    As you know I have often observed that a major part of the UK's economic problems as tied to a rubbish management culture;

    so, as you would expect, I am sympathetic to the argument that current management sees staff in a mechanical way, drawing out of them effort until the (all too predictable) failure.

    But, thinking about 'circular work' would encourage managers & workers to develop more sustainable work practices that fostered well-being not degrade it.

        @ChrisMayLA6 I seem to remember a phrase from Thatcher's playbook about "management's right to manage". Does it always come back to class?

          Broadly, yes it does.... there's always psycho-social issues at the workplace too though
