    The worst part is… If you’ve ever had the pleasure of working with an American company you’ll notice just how unproductive they are.

    Obviously the two are closely connected, but it’s always fascinating to me

      Yeah there’s that myth that if you make people work more hours more work will be done. It all makes sense on the spreadsheet!

      Reality is the workers are human, humans get tired and you aren’t getting more work out of anyone by making them work more hours. You’re just making someone be at a place longer because you can.

      So true. True efficiency can only be achieved when human labour is finite. Look at the small countries of norther europe. /my first comment on lemmee :D
