This article is like a meeting... too long, wordy, unfocused, unclear action items.

Look at this paragraph, what the heck: "Recognize that it takes active resistance for interpretation spaces to thrive in tech orgs. There is such a strong pull in our work systems to decompose work that it’s borderline revolutionary to center integration and meaning instead."

I cannot parse those 2 sentences at all. I'm not sure if it's trying to say something really clever and I'm not smart enough to get it or if it's BS pretending to be smart.

I was wondering partway through if I had lost the ability to comprehend text, and then I realized this is just terribly written. Regardless of the fact that I disagree with the author completely (99% of all the meetings I have ever attended at every company I have worked for were a complete waste of time), I found it physically painful to read this thing. I actually thought, "She seems exactly like the type of person to put on a 2 hour long bullshit meeting".
