Ask your ex for this one last favor

The clever girl asked her ex for one last favor. He agreed to do it grudgingly, without realizing he was being manipulated. After doing the favor, he actually wanted to get back with her. Let's look at exactly what favor she asked for and how it works. Your boss asks for this favor: Your boss asks you to write five good reasons why starting work two hours earlier and finishing two hours earlier would be a good idea. So you start thinking, okay, well here in Mexico City, I'd save an hour in traffic. Plus I could have lunch with my family and save another hour in traffic on the way back. I'd have the whole afternoon free and finally be able to focus on my own projects. Just because your boss asked, you start writing about all the advantages of starting early and leaving early. Two weeks later, there's a vote in the office. The options are: Keep the usual schedule or Leaving work early. Without thinking twice, you vote for the earlier shift because you've got all those benefits fresh in your head. This is how they manipulated your decision. Half the office had the same task as you, while the other half was asked to write about the disadvantages of starting and ending earlier. And that had a huge influence on the way they voted. The people who wrote about the pros, voted for the change, while most of the ones who wrote about the cons voted against it. So you're probably starting to figure out what kind of favor they asked for. The people who wrote about the disadvantages had those things stuck in their heads: they'd have to wake up earlier, they wouldn't be able to go out to dinner or play soccer at night with friends. They were super clear on all the negatives. And obviously, most of the people who wrote about the pros, voted for the change, while most of the ones who wrote about the cons voted against it. So, you're probably starting to figure out what kind of favor they asked for.
