It's not about convincing others to work less, but it is bringing to light the problem of people and businesses correlating raw hours to productivity. Working harder does not mean you are getting more done. Hard work is a given and it is required for entrepreneurs especially, but it shouldn't be harder than it has to be for no reason. Simply working more hours for the sake of bragging rights is going to cause you to fail miserably.
- larrys 13y ago"Simply working more hours for the sake of bragging rights" I find it hard to believe that people are working more hours for bragging rights. (Because it doesn't seem to make sense that for whatever you get in return for those hours is more or less the good feeling from thinking that others think you are so great for doing so, right?) Otoh I definitely do believe that people brag about something that they do for another reason. Now if you told me someone went to the flower store to get their spouse flowers so they could then brag that they got flowers I would believe that. Because that doesn't take that much effort so the payoff in your mind would be pretty good for the time spent. Make sense?
- USNetizen 13y agoBelieve me, it happens. I personally know people who brag about endless hours in the office simply to sound relevant and "hip", not because they are actually accomplishing anything additional. Typically, these people are seeking attention as "hard workers" when in reality they are going about things all wrong. I've experienced it, that's why I wrote it.
