re: Is timeliness no longer valued at all?

The most common type of "uncivilized" behavior in the workplace is wasting someone's time to save your own. That's a textbook written statistic and the specific language used. As an example, let's say you don't know how to set up an out of office response on your outlook email. Instead of googling or youtubing an answer, you just ask someone that might know. What you're telling that person is that your time is more valuable than theirs. It's incredibly common in todays workplace.

I will gladly burn a minute of a coworkers time to save ten of my own. And I have no problem with similar reciprocation. You're that guy that hides in his cave and never helps anyone aren't you?
