Lately, I've been finding the workplace to be more depressing than usual. A couple coworkers will sometimes tell me 'good job', but rarely to never from the 'boss'

Everyone seems to be hyper-focused on 'efficiency', which = coldness. In my view, we're becoming AI, and are losing our humanity. Which is why we need to step back from efficiency, and focus more on being human. As counter-intuitive as that sounds. Efficiency is obviously important, but I feel like we're overly prioritizing it at the expense of everything else, and need to find a balance.
