A short YouTube clip by John Jonas arguing that while work matters, not all work is equally important. He criticizes corporate practices that force employees to be physically present or fill time with low-value tasks, and suggests many tasks could be done by others or eliminated.

And I know that work is important, but not all work has the same level of importance. I watch friends of mine who watch YouTube videos at work just so they can spend their time in the office, or they have a couple meetings a day and they dink the rest of their time away because they don't have responsibilities. And that's super crappy business planning by their managers or whoever's in charge. Also crappy business policy. Like, you're getting your work done in a couple hours a day. Why do you need to sit there and watch YouTube the rest of the time? And this is like big corporate stuff that I'm talking about. So yeah, not all work is created equal. And frankly, you shouldn't be doing probably a lot of the work that you do because someone else could do that work.
