The Irrelevant Career V

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. So why are people working 100% of the time when only 20% will do? Why are people working a full week instead of 1 day/week? Both employees and employers will tell you they need it to be this way.
For employees, there has to be that much money being received in order to pay the bills. There's no way a person would get their spouse to agree to a 1 day/week job if they're just paying bills.
And employers need employees there as often as possible in case something happens. And they'd better be doing something all the time, because we're not paying for slackers!
Believe it or not, these arguments are irrelevant. If you don't believe me, then I recommend you read The Goal by Dr. Eli Goldratt. I was written almost 30 eyars ago, but it's still current. It's also fun, because it's in a novel format, even though you'll learn as much from it as any textbook.
What's in it, you might be asking? More tomorrow.
