> Pretty much we spent the vast majority of the day figuring out what to do when, instead of actually doing it.

One could argue that we virtually never do actual work. Machines or remote workers do. All we are doing is defining, communicating and controlling others' work.




That's arguably also work.


True. Figuring out what to do is work.

My point is collaboration (aka "figuring out what to do when") is pretty much the essence of our work. It is machines or remote workers that are "actually doing it", as I believe GP means it.
