Similar-but-Different Things Taken for Granted

People
like it when someone
works at 100% on my behalf.
But
when that someone who belongs to the same group as me
works at 100%, they get uncomfortable
because it might, unnoticed, stretch the boundary of what they're expected to do.

It's a phenomenon you often see
in clubs, schools, and companies.

That much is somewhat understandable.

But the same thing also happens
inside public institutions.

That part isn't so easy to let slide.
