That apparently confident character crinkling up an endless amount of paper can’t in any way represent an architect coming up with big designs up front while knowing that its value is less than optimal. It’s also difficult to draw any parallels between the main character and a functional analyst pounding out documents only to be left on a shelf. At least in the short film they have the decency to shred it.

Ok, I must admit – this short film is a pretty good representation of what we see in most organizations, big and small. And it’s a perfect representation of low value work simply being tossed to the next unit.

I wish I could say this short film is nothing but “over the top” symbolism, but it isn’t.

Thanks for the post!
