Official dispatches from Hardly Working Corp. headquarters.
Hardly Working Corp. opens its doors to the public. The application is available for download. Standard onboarding procedure applies.
A final report from the dissolved Department of Employee Morale. On burnout, guilt, and why the system — not you — is the problem.
David Graeber identified five types of pointless work. The Department of Professional Development asks: which one is yours?
Sector breakdowns, category rankings, and the revelation that Looking Busy grew 340% quarter-over-quarter. Presented with the gravity of an earnings call.
A corporate language policy explaining why Hardly Working Corp. uses 'reclaimed' instead of 'stolen.' The underlying labor economics are noted without commentary.
Bathroom breaks account for 11.3% of reclaimed time. The Department of Analytics has concerns. Management does not share them. Some things are sacred.
The official guide to the 10 activity categories — from Coffee Run to Into the Void. Each one described with the gravity of a corporate compliance manual.
The average employee is productive for 2 hours and 53 minutes per day. The productivity industry spent $102 billion trying to change this. It didn't work.
An attempt to define 'work' that fails philosophically and succeeds diagnostically. Includes an 8-question self-assessment. Score 6+ and you're one of us.
The founding announcement. A bland corporate press release about a new time reclamation firm — and a quiet manifesto about the gap between employment and productivity.
