:: Peer Pressure ::
I have read (or heard) about a survey
conducted among high-tech workers in Israel. One of the
questions asked there was "What is the reason you
work many hours a day?". Not surprisingly, more
than 50 percent of the people asked chose "Peer
pressure" as the answer.
You know the situation. You're tired,
you're thinking about the new episode of your favorite
sitcom you're missing this moment. You work at 10% of
your normal efficiency. You could finish up whatever
takes you 3 hours now in 10 minute tomorrow morning.
But...everyone's here. And I can't just go
now.
Peer Pressure.
The only thing that has my wondering is:
If more than 50% feel that the main reason they stay in
late is peer pressure, shouldn't they be the ones to do
the pressuring. They're more than 50%!
Press on, fellow pressees.
