My culture, as far as I can tell, has a number of assumptions that are patently false. Let's work on a few of those here.
Time is money. Okay, that's an equivalency relationship, so I can therefore say if it's time, then it's money. The logical contrapositive to that (which is supposedly true) is if it's not money, then it's not time. Therefore if time is money, then it is fundamentally impossible to waste your time.
Let's say they only imply that if it's money, then it's time. That has some merit, since making money takes time, but it doesn't give credit to the person who makes money swiftly, because the faster they make money, the less money it is. That just doesn't add up.
Point blank, the phrase "time is money" only exists to motivate workers to work harder than necessary. Since they lose money if they take too much time, then they must gain money from taking even less time! Right? Right? Wrong. They made their employers money, but the extra work they did to make life faster didn't really increase their personal value at all. We only have to work as fast as needed to get the job done. Any faster is a waste of time.
