Beware this, youngling professors — when you are a committee chair, you will do way more than 100%/N of the committee workload, where N is the number of committee members. You will do 100% – epsilon, where epsilon is an infinitesimally small number.
So true. As I discovered this semester. Being a committee chair is like teaching. You get to work while everybody else gets to lose their homework and forget to show up on time.

Indeed, epsilon can be any positive number at all!

It makes no sense if epsilon is a positive number greater than (N-1)*100%/N because then the chair would be doing less than 100%/N of the committee workload.
