They get it, but to them the only good worker is one who is well controlled.

If a work week of thirty two hours would be proved equally productive as one of forty, if the reduction makes no important difference for society at large, then i may begin to seem as though a twenty hour work week is equally possible, such that while the idea is being considered, workers will discover new opportunities for self care and community care, discover new relationships with hobbies and leisure, and expand their identities into new aces and directions.

After not too much time passes. a critical mass of workers might start to feel convinced that the whole system is a house of cards, built only on hea and deception, and deserving be dismantled in favor of a one that is new and different.
