"The world is full of willing people, some willing to work, the rest willing to let them."
Robert Frost
Late 19th century/early 20th century American poet
An entertaining if not somewhat jaded view of the world.
Is that how you see things where you work?
it is and i am not jaded. a few of us come to work, to work. the rest just to goof off.
ReplyDeleteA few years back I included questions in a survey I was doing regarding how much work people saw themselves doing versus what they saw others do. It was a nationally projectable sample of 1,000 adults between the ages of 18 and 65. In other words, the work age population. I don't recall the exact percentages but the following is close.
ReplyDelete90% said they do more work than most.
80% said others do not work as hard as they do.
So, if I think I work hard but you don't, and you think you work hard but I don't, who's actually doing all the work that does get done?
