“Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion”
For this real or imagined overwork, there are, broadly speaking, three possible remedies. He may resign; he may ask to halve the work with a colleague called B; he may demand the assistance of two subordinates, to be called C and D. There is probably no instance, however, in history, of A choosing any but the third alternative.
Has the information revolution falsified Parkinson's law? If not yet, then when will it? Or has it supercharged it?
Would a thought leader, of failing one of those, a chatbot mind getting in touch to let us know?
