Keynote: Creatives Centered Culture
Talkat Open Source Summit Europe + Embedded Linux Conference Europe 2019 · on Wednesday, 2019-10-30· at 09:00· Amphitheatre·
summary
Research from a three‑year project links severe burnout to a culture that forces continuous productivity on inherently messy creative work; creativity and productivity are fundamentally incompatible under current practices like timesheets, task tracking and constant notifications. Data points cited: almost 12,000 hours of Netflix footage watched and 102 million emails sent every 30 seconds. Examples include a misattributed Bill Gates quote fueling overwork, a Fiverr ad celebrating sleeplessness, an experiment where people prefer electric shocks to boredom, and Netflix’s unlimited vacation policy failing due to peer pressure.
