> local belief is that you are either incompetent and can't finish the work assigned to you in your normal work schedule, which will cost the company money to train you or hire a replacement, or your manager is incompetent because he over-assigned your time and it will cost the company money when you finally burnout or start taking shortcuts in your work.

That belief makes too much sense. To be a belief shouldn't there be a contrary believable belief? I wouldn't want to be part of the other retrograde group who believes something else.

The contrary belief is what is described in the article, where people are expected to stay in the office, or on-call for long hours to be valued as employees.

The sad thing is how many people actually live like this, defining themselves through what they do instead of who they are.
