 99.9% of jobs do not require urgency of any kind, really they don't. We've all had a boss who acts like someone will die if we don't hit some made up deadline by people who don't even do the job. No one needs their meal 1 minute faster or the paperwork before tomorrow morning. Your time off actually doesn't need to wait. Sometimes I think about how legitimately bad most businesses are at time management and hiring, and I wonder how they manage to exist at all. 
 This is a terrible take. I actually see this a lot in bad European corporate culture: complacency, laziness, making excuses, constant postponements.

Postponements quickly compound and slowly open the door to make future ones more acceptable. Businesses with a healthy sense of urgency succeed.
