I find that people are not productive past 6 hours a day at most. A 24 hour work week has been productive with additional hours as needed. The vast majority of employees fill their 40 hour work week with things other than work just to say they were there. I actually had someone proclaim that even though someone had gotten all the expected work done for the week the employee “needed to get all their hours in.” We have been brainwashed into thinking 40 hours is a magical number.

These “save the world” socialist engineers are insane! They want to cut your consumption by cutting your pay check. It’s the same old mud hut and bicycle crowd for everyone while the likes of Nancy Pelosi still live in their mansions. These people want us to go backwards! GO TO HELL!

You have obviously never worked in transportation.

If the person is getting paid for piece work, by the unit produced, then your point makes sense. The required number of units were completed, therefore there’s no use in hanging around any longer than necessary.

If they are paid by the hour, and completed all of the ‘expected work’ in less time than had been allocated, and assuming that the person isn’t killing himself or shortchanging quality to do it, then the amount of ‘expected work’ is obviously set too low.
