There's an implication that the dude whittled it into a ball. It shows a knife of some sort and shavings behind him. It allows the illusion of working harder without forcing the user to use some critical thinking. For example it would take a long time to work it into a ball allowing the others to move further ahead than shown (unless they stopped to watch). Where did he get the knife and why didn't he share it? As others pointed out, will the ball be useful once it gets there? (I suspect not). Etc etc etc
I'm on my phone and didn't see the knife. It could still be about privilege because he has a knife advantage that no one else has, not that I'm really hellbent on making it about privilege, it just struck me as the kind of thing a person who doesn't believe in privilege would draw.
Agreed there is a certain privileged aspect about it
Hello, HR? Yeah, my coworker brought a knife to the office and is ranting about how he's going to make things a lot more efficient around here...
HR "Sounds like someone is getting a promotion. We need people who are a cut above. Someone who really gets the point. The next best thing since sliced bread."
