New grads: 73% of your work may be spent on ephemera, bureaucratic and political BS and other silliness. Someone must take a stand and put an end to this nonsense. Someone must rise in the middle of the office and proclaim: “I’m sorry, this task does not advance the mission of my workplace or improve the world in any way whatsoever; indeed it may set back both. I pass.” Someone must. We all voted and picked you.
