The part I hate the most is that shorter work hours have been proven to actually lead to an increase in productivity. It’s so likely that if you genuinely cared about productivity then the risk/reward of trying it would be the safest thing you’ll ever do in your career.

But we don’t do that, obviously. The only two conclusions are that we are either astronomically stupid or the cruelty is the point. There’s a fun third option which, honestly, is probably the reality and that’s a combination of the first two.

And we just let it all happen.
