Just read this article over at men.style.com and partially agree to it,
although it is a “style” website, and the article is a bit one sided, it does bring up a good question related to the psychology of the modern white collar
Why do people boast about how hard they work, how tired they are, how many hours overtime they did last night, how they came in on the weekend to work..??
Why do they have to make sure they let EVERYONE know how tired they are?
Are these people scared to lose their job?
Do they think this is some kind of status symbol?
Im sure there was a time, where people just pretended to be good, rather than whining..
“It’s the first thing that comes out of someone’s mouth when you ask them how they’re doing,” says Matthew Moss, 34, a creative director at a marketing agency in Portland, Oregon. “‘Oh, I’m exhausted.‘ The first thing you think is ‘Oh, this guy is tired, which means he’s probably been working really hard.’ Or ‘They’re full of shit.’”
“People use tiredness as a proxy for effort,” says Steve Gravenkemper, an organizational psychologist at Plante & Moran, a consulting and accounting firm based in Detroit. “They say, ‘Gee, I tried real hard even though I didn’t get the result, and you can see that by my exhaustion.’”
Im guilty of doing this myself occasionally, but i can see that no one thinks better of you if you complain how busy or tired you are..
Just try to be happy as much as you can
