Something I’m unlearning from past workplaces is the idea that being constantly “busy” equals being valuable. The best teams I’ve seen focus on clarity, not chaos. Has anyone else had to rewire that mindset?

I agree with this. Some of the people who insist on looking the busiest are the least productive, but they want the most credit for looking busy. Now that I recognize this, I find it a little bit childish when people act like they are so important just because they walk around like they are stressed all the time. What's stressing you? Because it's certainly not the work lol.

You hit the nail on the head. Being busy does not always make you valuable. The people who are valuable are the ones who bring peace to the chaos.

Chaos is good for optics but not good for company

Absolutely! I think some companies mindsets are just worked that way to be busy all the time unfortunately!

it feels like every survey about working from home is (poorly) designed to answer the useless question "would you rather work from home or from the office." I submit that the set of people who prefers to have only one of those two options, always and forever, is the null set. which means it DOES NOT MATTER because the correct answer is always going to be "make both possible." you're welcome, HR departments everywhere.
