If your employees have this attitude, any pressure at all is intense
You may remember that a couple of years ago a Politico reporter was caught plagiarizing and was fired. It was a big story for a couple of days. The young woman in question is a friend of my son who is also a journalist and apparently the reason she plagiarized was that the intense and unforgiving production expectations at Politico were too much for her. It’s strange to read about such leisurely current work expectations after knowing about that incident.
