I know many people who are full on into hustle culture and they don't care to optimize their productivity.
the hustle is being strategic, work smart not hard, fake till you make it, lie and be ruthless and amoral
It's kind of disgusting...
Edit: Actually, I don't know many such people. Just 2-3 maybe. But it feels like many
The job selection process is part of the issue. It favours good liars over those who are honest about their faults.
And unfortunately being demonstrated by a role model right now to a whole lot of impressionable US school children who will grow up lying through their teeth who will eventually occupy jobs they're woefully unqualified for, to the detriment of their entire sphere of influence.
A friend of mine recently pointed me to the song "Lie, Cheat, Steal" by Run The Jewels. Seems like the strategy of choice for a while yet.
