Discussion—Behavioral Heuristics
There was an incident a couple of years ago where my first partner when I got the job (we both started at the same time) had made many poor decisions both in and outside of work.
The heuristic that came up regarding my first partner whom we’ll call Gina for this post was that of expectation or the positive expectation bias, which often fuels gambling addictions and contributes to the "hot hand" misconception (Dvorsky, 2013, Paragraph 7). Very early on it was clear that she was extremely unorganized and had a hard time managing her caseload with me. When someone explained to Gina that anything she didn’t complete during the week would be made up by on-call staff, she took advantage of this on the weekends and evenings on many occasions, resulting in a lot of ire from our co-workers, until it reached a point that no one wanted to work with her, myself included. It became her expectation that she didn’t necessarily need to work hard and would consistently pile up work for everyone else. Needless to say, this sparked a change in expectations of employees to get their work done and not putting it off until Fridays and Saturdays.
For my part, because my name was attached to Gina as we were partners, I often tried to pick up the slack and keep everything in line for her. This only furthered her expectations that if she doesn’t do the work, someone else will for her. In hindsight, I could have responded differently and simply let her get in trouble the many times she probably should have, while also trying to help her to be more productive overall.
