  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.

      Its basic math. A woman needs 9 months for a pregnancy, surely two women would only need 4.5 months.

        The spreadsheet confirms what you just said. Adding it to the corporate policy manual now.

    True efficiency can only be achieved when human labour is finite. Look at the small countries of norther europe.

  The problem is that in Germany, our Chancellor is currently on the same trip saying that ‘the people don’t work enough’ even though most people (who have a full time job) already work about 40 hours and many woman would like to work more but can’t because there are not enough daycare centres and retirement homes.

    My wife worked for Siemens-Gamesa for a long time, and German managers were always surprised how the Danes would just straight up decline meetings after 16 and leave early if they had to pick up kids.

    They didn’t worry about that at all, of course, because their wives generally didn’t work full time.

  That’s what they get when you don’t fight for your rights.
  Look at it now, semi-fascist for half a year and they’re still basically singing Kumbaya.
  They get what they deserve.
