Every time I see that "Don't give 100% at your job. Only give like 70% at most." I think about human service jobs.

I'm an early childhood educator. I work to keep ten two-year olds safe, healthy and psycho-emotionally enriched. I don't think only giving 70% of my effort to do that would be good for anyone.

My mom is recovering from a stroke at a rehabilitation center. I would really like the staff there to give their 100% caring for residents.

If you're in a cubicle, yeah sure. But if you're primary job responsibility is to keep vulnerable people alive and comfortable, then I don't think discount effort is a good idea.

Discuss?

i would definitely prefer if the people taking care of someone vulnerable were giving less than their all most of the time. if they were already giving their all, there's nothing extra left to give if an emergency happens, someone has to call in sick and their tasks redistributed among everyone else, etc.

of course, this only works if the situation is such that people giving less than their all is enough in non-emergency situations to provide adequate care. which is not always true, but let's be clear that that is also a problem, because, like, emergencies do happen.

Also like. If people are giving 100% then people will hire/train/build based on that assumption? And then if anything goes wrong then the system breaks and the ones getting care are the ones who pay the price?

Like there’s a post somewhere about how like a parachute factory is not allowed to operate in a way that requires their employees to always do it right? Because humans make mistakes and pretending that they don’t will get people killed?

IDK I’m up past my bedtime and maybe I’ll be able to say something coherent about this in the morning. But there’s a critical difference between the doctor giving 100% and the patient receiving 100%. Better for my grandma to have two nurses each giving 60% than one nurse giving 110%.

i'm so glad that toby fox hasn't relented on alphys being totally fandombrained in deltarune bc he was kind of saying he was a bit worried that her UT dialogue had aged poorly in the 10th anni stream iirc and its like, toby, i need you to understand the fact that its aged poorly has only made it 6000 times more charming to me and in fact it's even funnier if you keep it up in deltarune so that she has this cheugy 2010s tumblr fandombrain sense of the world that totally disenfranchises her from the teens. like it actually works even better here that she has all those cringe fail "i don't want to revert to my primal form" level eccentricities. she's seriously one of a kind because it's the most lovingly handcrafted depiction of cringe imaginably
