Can anyone just have a job now? Or work at a company that actually does something rather than spinning out entire blog posts about their supposed amazing mission? I mean, I just slogged through this mind-numbing blog post (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.railway.app&#x2F;p&#x2F;how-we-work-volume-iii" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.railway.app&#x2F;p&#x2F;how-we-work-volume-iii</a>) on &quot;how we work,&quot; and I still don&#x27;t have a bloody clue what they actually do.<p>Seriously, what happened to just having jobs? You know, workers and managers—simple as pie. This straightforward setup has been around since the dawn of time. But no, now we need a novel-length explanation on their work process without ever getting to the point of what they produce. They babble on with gems like, &quot;We aspire to take the limiter off every person at this company and see where the open road takes us.&quot; Oh, really? Does the open road lead to anywhere useful, like, say, making something?<p>Why can&#x27;t they just say, &quot;We make biscuits. We get orders for biscuits. We have a bunch of people who make the biscuits, and we have managers to oversee them,&quot; instead of spouting, &quot;We empower people to reach their own personal development milestones every single day&quot; or some other such corporate drivel? I mean, who writes this stuff? Do they have a department of professional waffle writers?<p>And what’s with this obsession with &quot;delivering a mission&quot;? Are they running a company or leading a cult? I half expect them to start their meetings with a chant. Maybe throw in some motivational smoke signals for good measure. Can’t we just go back to the days when companies did things and left the philosophical babble to the self-help section?<p>At this rate, I’m expecting their next blog post to explain how their innovative &quot;synergistic approach to holistic biscuit-making&quot; is revolutionizing the snack industry. Newsflash: It’s a biscuit. Just bake it, sell it, and spare us the soul-searching soliloquies.
