This is the worst of my linked in feeds.

"If there were only more hours in the day we could work."

The problem really is:

  *  Human malware.

  *  Managers introducing complexity where it shouldn't be.

  *  People wasting your time on issues that could really have been emails.

"Work expands to fill the available time"

This includes other people's time.

> * Human malware

That's a funny / interesting concept to think about. I'm sure I could think of plenty of corporate examples.

Though it reminds of of Kurt Vonnegut's story about the car aliens, bringing the combustion engine to earth, not realising how dangerous ideas could be to humans. I think it may have been part of Slaughter House 5, but I can't remember now.

Or a bit more sci-fi / far fetched, the virus from Snow Crash.
