Our next innovation will allow you to work 48 hours per day!
“Why not abolish days, and just work an endless stream of hours?” —Elon Musk, probably
Hypnospace Outlaw has a similar premise.
just a clickbaity headline. Obviously any time spent doing work will count as work hours, and employers don't need futuristic tech to push for more of those. So nothing is changing in that regard.

there's no trust in my statement. The incentives to increase work hours already exist, and even if it's not snake oil, this tech won't change that. A work hour is a work hour regardless if the worker is sitting down or in a lucid dream.
