Information Rage Coming Soon To an Office Near You

digitaldc submitted the latest excuse to get a few days off: "A survey released this week revealed the latest affliction to hit white-collar workers. It's called 'information rage,' and almost one in two employees is affected by it. Overwhelmed by the torrent of data flooding corporate workplaces, many are near the breaking point. The aftermath of all this is the deterioration in quality that occurs when flustered employees — unable to sort through a pile of information fast enough — end up submitting work that's substandard. Almost three quarters of the survey's respondents declared their work has suffered as a result."

    So, just to clarify: Nearly 50% of people are either:

    1. Too slow to keep up with necessary information to do their job.
    2. Too dumb to decrease their information intake to maintain their sanity
    or
    3. Are willing to make dumb excuses to explain their substandard work

    what's new here?
