Chapter 1 Why Work Sucks Pg 11-36

"Why Does Work Suck? The deep reason….because we have “TIME” all wrong.
     * Working late might get you a promotion
     * Coming in late might get you fired
     * Coming in early looks like dedication

MYTH: TIME + PHYSICAL PRESENCE = RESULTS
Except for sales..people are judged by mixture of results and time spent in the office.  You are expected to do your work AND spend 40 hours or more in the office."
Why do we look at time this way?   Maybe it is a relic of the Industrial age…when you  were not at your place on the assembly line, work wasn’t getting done. (pg 15)

FEW INDIVIDUALS ARE GIVING THEIR BEST. FEW COMPANIES ARE GETTING THE BEST FROM THEIR PEOPLE. (pg 17)
