This seems very disconnected with the reality of any company I've worked at in 25 years.

"Tasks" frequently are not spelled out, or if they are, they are wrong. There's almost no value to a company to blaze through all this.

Similarly, no one is getting rewarded for that type of speed, especially if the company has no idea how to uptake it.
