ScienceWoman (over at ScienceWomen) has a very interesting post regarding work and the relationship between work hours and success. There are a few polls in the post directed at those in faculty positions, and the results will surely lead to some lively discussion. (so faculty, get over there and vote! And everyone else: get over there and comment...once scienceblogs comments are back up)
Here's a sample: "How do you feel about people who work fewer hours than you but acheive equal or greater levels of success?"
So far, answers are split between:
"Altrusitically congratulatory with no implications for your own performance,"
"Inspired by their example,"
and
"Jealous of their time management skills"
What would you answer?
(And for the record, I did not answer "defeated." I was one of the "Jealous of their brains/talent" votes.
