human resource misallocation, grumble

me: you know what I'm good at (1), let me do that

employer: no, do that other thing (2)

me: are you sure? pretty much anyone else can do that *much* more effectively. let me do what I'm actually good at

employer: do that other thing

me: (gets bored out, predictably accomplishing very little)

employer: you must work harder

(1) see track record
(2) superficial, unclear stuff with lots of friction, para-social interaction, busy waiting and interruptions
