The Weak-end Effect

When you are mentally stressed and physically exhausted, because you can’t think and move, preferring to lie down to rest your out-of-shape body, while constantly worrying how you are going to meet those ridiculous deadlines come Monday.

Jessie sought counselling because she’s suffering from the weak-end effect—she wants to take back her 48 hours for herself and for her family, instead of letting her job take a toll on what used to be her free time—the weekend.

kick-the-dog effect

The angry behaviour shown by a person when he has to accept all blame and he cannot shift it to anybody else because he is in the lowest rung of hierarchy in his organization. This happens when a boss, who is to blame, shifts the blame to his junior, who, in turn, passes it to his junior and so on till the blame reaches the lowest-ranked staff, who cannot pass it to anybody else. Then he goes home and takes it out on his dog by kicking it about.

Angry at having to bear the blame for no fault of his, the peon came back home in the evening and kicked his dog repeatedly. A kick-the-dog effect, isn't it?
