Cognitive Labour Discussed at Toronto Council

 

 

"I don't think it is fair to people who are trying to do their jobs to have them not know from one moment to another what somebody's going to do."

 

Y'know, Councilor Milczyn, I think you've hit on something here.

 

 

Politics, on the whole, does a terrible job at HR, which is kinda sad - if anyone should have their cognitive labour working at maximum potential, it's the policy makers.

 

They can do better.  As I've been saying for years, the time's coming when they won't have a choice not to.

 

I think it's always better to be proactive and benefit rather than be reactive and hope to mitigate damage already done, but what do I know?  I'm not the boss.
