@praxeology this is indeed mindblowing. also, facial recognition and "He sent staff links to deep house music to listen to while working." A pity that the confrontation moment is rushed and accusatory. I wanted to hear his philosophical idea of what a company is.

  @entreprecariat @praxeology Yeah the guy is clearly an arsehole but I had similar thoughts about how this fraud is probably totally standard business practice. Whenever I buy something it takes a while to work out how real a company is, it can be really hard to work out whether you're buying from a sole trader in their garage, amazon (a lot of second hand book website seem to actually be them), or a real legitimate company that pays taxes.

  This story¹ about people being tricked into working for a fake design agency seems to underscore both the outright fraud in the case, as well as how much of modern work is not actually productive but a kind of "serious business" performativity.
