Parkinson's Law, which states that work expands to fill the time available for its completion, has become a defining characteristic of modern work culture. While Parkinson's Law is the most commonly used term to describe this phenomenon, there are several synonyms that can be used to convey the same idea. These include the Pareto Principle, which suggests that 80% of the results come from 20% of the effort; the Murphy's Law, which implies that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong; and the Peter Principle, which states that employees will rise to their level of incompetence. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the inefficiencies that plague modern work environments.
