Game Theory in The Workplace
https://www.wsj.com/articles/how-do-you-survive-office-competition-1461088682
This article by the Wall Street Journal outlines the competitiveness and stress of the workplace. It discusses the stress and work that success brings and the fear of the work required to get to that point. Game Theory is present in many ways within employment. For example, if you want to move up in the business, the article suggests you may have to be shady or go behind other employees backs to advance your own personal cause. Also, success requires a lot of work, so it is never just a clear cut positive to be on the track pointing upwards.
The office environment is highly competitive and rarely shows mutualistic relationships between employees. If employee A chooses to slack off, that only means that employee B will have to work harder to cover for him/her. Human nature makes us resentful and our competitive nature makes for selfish interactions.
