笨工程師們，不要再無償加班了！

以前我就 post 過這篇。英文附在後頭，翻譯在前頭，希望可以多點醒幾位傻蛋。這文章是我在 slashdot 看到的。

如果這不會打擾到我的生活，當然沒問題。但是，如果你每週七天，一天24小時的工作，而我們共同的老闆想知道為何我一天無法完成20件工作，這就很討厭，此時你的工作習慣就影響到我了。如果我們的共同老闆決定讓你的態度成為「正常」而期待每個人都做到，那你就創造了一個讓人過勞的工作環境，此時你的工作習慣就影響到我了。如果你養成了24小時工作的習慣，而你感冒了但還是照常上班，因此傳染到我，此時你的工作習慣就影響到我了。你傳染到我，我該死的就一定在家休養，其他被你傳染的人若是還有理性也該在家休息。

容許一部份人在工作環境中做出這種有害的行為，會設立一種有害的慣例，因為沒人是在隔絕的泡泡裡頭工作的。這會改變工作的文化，導致利益向組織過度傾斜而忽視個人權益。這會產生健康危機，潛在的危及整個社會的經濟。這是我為何會在意「你」把你自己操的過勞。因為此時你不只是我的同事，還變成了我周圍世界的氣壓計。

以上，看懂了嗎？在這個賽局中，一旦老闆決定「我要責怪其他人沒有向工作超時的人看齊」，此時組織就可以在不多付錢的情況下把大家燒乾，最後只要留下沒掛的人傳承經驗就行了。畢竟新人還更便宜。此時唯一解法只有員工自行團結，才能維持平衡。這麼多過勞死的新聞難道沒響起警鐘嗎？不要以為人是操不壞的。

John Nash 在 A Beautiful Mind 裡頭的策略還記得吧？如果硬要當那個愛表現超時工作的，下場也許是自己拿12分然後得腦瘤死掉。但如果大家合作，也許所有人都可拿10分，而且除了工作以外還可以擁有自己的人生。用腦想想吧，幹麼把自己做那麼賤？

If someone likes working all the time, why not respect that and move on with your life?

As long as it doesn't intrude on my life, I'm all for that. However, if you work 24/7 and our mutual boss wants to know why I'm not accomplishing 20 tasks a day, that gets annoying and your work habit is affecting me. If our mutual boss decides to make you the "norm" and expects everyone to follow suit, then you've created an environment for burnout and your work habit is affecting me. If you get in the habit of working 24/7 and you catch a cold and come in to work anyway, and I catch your cold, your work habit is affecting me. You infect me with a cold and I'm staying home, dammit. You infect other, saner, people and they'll stay home too.

Allowing someone to behave detrimentally in a work environment sets a dangerous precedent because nobody works in a bubble; it changes the work culture to one that benefits the organization unequally over the individual, it creates health risks, and combined, potentially skews a society's economy. That's why I care if *you* work yourself to the bone. You're not only my colleague but you're a barometer of the world around me.
