"I used to work in a bank. There was this button on the desk and I kept looking at it every day for a month, and finally I just pushed it... it was the alarm. They never tell you anything because they're afraid you'll take their stupid jobs." - A dialogue from the film, Clockwatchers(1998).
The experience of being underloaded, of too little responsibility and work is more stressful than being overloaded. If you are overloaded, atleast you feel needed and useful, even if you are overworked, overwhelmed and exhausted. We all have a choice between tolerating the routine ("being a clock watcher"), or standing up and making a change.
Most of us start our careers with lofty ambitions but do we eventually become what we despise the most? Do we all become clockwatchers and architects of our own petty domains and self-important delusions?
