The 80/20 rule seems to apply to the world of work. Twenty percent of people are on the fast track, continually increasing their value, moving up and earning more money. Eighty percent of working people in all fields are timeservers. They come to work at the last possible minute and leave at the possible minute. While they are there, they use their time poorly in comparison with the people on the fast track.
Fully 50 percent of working time is wasted. Most working time is wasted in ideal chat with coworkers. It is wasted in nonstop electronic distractions, answering email, off social media, replying to texts and answering telephone calls. The average person, including mangers, checks his email forty five times a day.
People waste their time by coming late, leaving early and taking extended coffee and lunch breaks. They read the newspaper, take can of personal business and generally function at low level of performance.
