Redwork is doing. Redwork is clockwork. Redwork consists of a constant battle for efficiency and for getting work done against the clock. This is why workers clock in and clock out and many people are paid “by the hour.” People performing redwork feel the effects of this pressure as stress and are “under the influence of redwork.” They cannot help it. Our mindset in redwork is a prove-and-perform mindset. The protect mindset is an unhelpful subset of the performance mindset and is to be avoided. Variability is an enemy to redwork.
