I think it's a Red Queen's Race thing - once we had mechanization and efficiency experts and foremen, it al started running further and further into the time-is-expensive end. And then, a century later, here we are, bragging about how little sleep we get at night. :/

So very true. I just never saw the point in being proud of rushing and cutting into your own personal time because of a ridiculous "early is on time" policy. I understand it even less when it's not even work-related.

I'll still show up to interviews, assignments, and meetings with a few minutes to spare---I don't have to like the precept to know my professional future depends on following it---but I'll never be convinced it's as important as most people in this country do.
