nice thread about the history of the term (h/t @bandeauxx) must be infinitely frustrating to have your language repeatedly stripped from its original context like this once it 'escapes containment' it gets transmogrified into this whole other thing

interesting thread articulating a scenario where an employee is blocked on a task when a workaround is possible what interests me is the degree to which the employee is or isn’t incentivised to do the workaround instead of basically using the block to take a ‘snow day’ or two
