@p_millerd diminishing returns are real. Also productivity is ultimately about outcome not volume. Consulting often rewards a volume based outcome bc the ultimate outcome is not a concern of the party providing the rewards.

I used to be so productive when I worked in consulting. But I always felt this deep existential angst Now I just drop the ball on way more but feel way better. What if being very productive is just not healthy for most people?

so curious to read and see if the mechanics and how they relate to power dynamics, aggression and self protection and advocacy. I wonder if men would seem to be more likely to be perceived as punch down... either on themselves (self deprecation) or others (bullying).

Humor doesn’t work better for men. It’s often even more effective for women. Study of 2,407 TED talks: more laughs predict more views—especially for women. Yes, women are funny. No, humor isn't unprofessional. It's a strategy to signal smarts and warmth at the same time.
