It‘s these young semi-attractive women, enormously polite, with odd ballooning handwriting, who fix their empty heads on whatever random task they’ve been assigned, & overwork & overmanage it until it becomes a true cancerous problem, the likes of which nobody ever conceived.https://twitter.com/eugyppius1/status/1407409801626259457 …

Then they get promoted & they help each other, this informal society of the diligent. Whatever they’re assigned, they maximise it. They make it the Whole Thing. It‘s like a photocopy assistant who just copies thousands of worthless pages all the time for no reason.

One of the things about men in professional contexts, is (as a rule), you assign them problems, they make these problems go away. Women, particularly the diligent and virtuous ones, do not make problems go away. They make them into permanent bureaucratic monuments.
