| May 9, 2021 at 16:16 | comment | added | Steve | @PeteW, if you consider "work intensity" to be a synonym for "the rate of exploitation", then it often is a direct statement of the fact. Also, the planning may not be poor by intent, but firms which adopt these buzzwords are often marginal and buffeted by market forces, so there will be little sense of stability. What I'm not clear about is why they advertise being fast-paced - it's oblique enough to be unclear to the naive, but does there exist a stratum of experienced candidates who like to work long hours for low pay doing low-quality work, and to whom these buzzwords speak? | |

In any list of want ads, there are likely to be a higher percentage of "messed up" companies than they are in real life. | |
