Asking for help finding an article

This is a shot in the dark but I'm trying to find an article once posted here. My recollection and google-fu is coming up short.

The context is a researcher is working hard but there is a different researcher in the same facility that is the golden boy. He goes to his boss and tries to commiserate and his boss basically says, "don't be jealous, imagine if you worked as hard as him."

The rest of the article is a breakdown of the compounding effect of hard work. It's a great read and I need to hear it again.

Please let me know if you have any luck.
