the Bill Lundbergs of the world have realized to their horror they're utterly irrelevant to my productivity.

What I mean is, they are incentivized to reduce productivity. They are rewarded for it. If they are merely irrelevant to productivity, then they are not likely to be promoted, or have as good a position if they change companies.

Part of his book's summary is absolutely scientifically false. Maybe he was misquoted, but it says this:

"If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency."

Protein is an essential nutritional component of a healthy diet. Being in protein deficiency is actually painful. But then if you read the quote from the actual book, it has this:

"Protein is not the key to weight loss. Animal protein is not the healthiest food we can eat. Carbs are not the enemy."

That part is true. The key to weight loss is calorie restriction over a sustained period (good rule of thumb: it takes three days of reduced calorie intake).

If you are getting adequate calories in your diet, there is no such thing as protein deficiency.

This part is absolutely false. Several proteins are essential amino acids, which means your body cannot synthesize them itself. They MUST be eaten. It doesn't matter how many calories are in your diet, if you do not eat those amino acids, you will have a protein deficiency.

Maybe this doctor is being misquoted, but you do need protein in your diet.

, The study concludes that narcissistic leaders oppose virtual work primarily because it threatens their access to power and status, rather than out of concern for organizational productivity.

It's not narcissism, it's entirely rational: we are all working because of self interest, not because we care about the company.

They show that many employees no longer trust the official story.

Why did they ever trust the official story? Lying has been standard in SV for a long time. Obviously longer, but I can't find older links. A lot CxOs lie for no reason, in a transparent way that kills morale. I'm starting to think they intentionally kill morale.
