The Ultimate Purpose: Difference between revisions

{{a|devil|}}The notional reason — long buried by screeds of wishful [[yogababble]] — why everyone, in any role, in any time or place, shows up for work, with which, for a rare, sainted few [[HR]]’s putative [[yogababble]] will be magically congruent: to create value for the owner. Most likely, if you're in HR.

Define “owner” broadly — there will be many: shareholders, the boss, your self, your family, society, our children’s future, Gaia, ''whatever'' — and their interests will certainly conflict — that conflict, by the way, being a large propellant of the utter nonsense that is modern corporate life — but if you think always in epochal, constant, unshifting terms you can’t go too far wrong. If you achieve some value for some boss at some point in your day — achieving self-actualisation through scabrous wiki posts perhaps — then your day hasn’t been entirely wasted, however grim the experience.
