Parkinson's law, first written about in the 1950s, explains that work expands to fill the available time. In his essay he noted that what that means is that managers work to expand the people they manage as that gives them more budget more prestige and more power. He has an amusing anecdote about the British Navy in the early 1900s to illustrate his point. They essay is very well written and I highly recommend it. https://www.economist.com/news/1955/11/19/parkinsons-law https://www.economist.com/news/1955/11/19/parkinsons-law
