Johanna Rothman writes in this blog entry A trap that too many execs (women and men) seem to fall into is: work more hours and get more done. People don't work more hours and get more done. They work stupider and make more work for other people..
Recently there has been an urge by the dutch government for people to work longer hours, based on the assumption that the Dutch don't work enough. Last week I read, that on average people work more than thirty years ago - so the assumption is flawed. Working hours are spread out over more people. Compared to thirty years ago more women participate in the workforce, and more many more people (men and women) are working part-time.
