Busyness:

"busyness has become a status symbol. Research led by the Columbia marketing professor Silvia Bellezza shows that people perceive others who are busy—and who use products indicating they’re busy (like a Bluetooth headset for multitasking)—to be important and impressive."

"newly published studies led by the psychologist Jared Celniker have found that across the United States, France, and South Korea, people consider those who exert high effort to be “morally admirable,” regardless of their output."

“Work, not leisure, is now the signifier of dominant social status.”
