You are saying that when your individual line starts building up you feel pressure but when the single global line starts building up you would not feel pressure?

Yes, a single global line build-up doesn't feel solely like your responsibility. It's like a tragedy of the commons scenario.

Right. How would your manager know to berate you personally for a slow line? The responsibility is spread around.
