Part of what makes modern work so demoralizing is what David Graeber calls "Bullshit Jobs". Jobs that are in no way productive but just keep a large portion of the work force busy, think "email work". Work is so overly complicated by management that it limits the freedom for many people to engage in what Ted Kacynski calls "the power process." The feeling and ability to control how you work and how strongly correlated your ambition is to your success.
@LarsonHicksShow Did you mean "quoting"? Yes, I am. Not on board with his violence at all, but his assessment of liberal "over socialization" and the stuff he has on the power process and surrogate activities is actually worth reading in his manifesto.

Good points. Also - are you quoting the unibomber?
