To imply that;
If you get paid the same for doing the same work in 75% of the time the incentive becomes all about finding the efficiencies to get the job done.
... is a bit disingenuous as it's only the first half of the 'efficiency cycle'.
Once that logic is bedded-down and the efficiencies found, the next management move becomes one of two options:
1. We have too many employees knocking off early so we need fewer workers for the services we so efficiently provide, or
2. We have the capacity to do more work with the employees we have because they're currently under utilised.
Either way, it's NEVER about some egalitarian ideal where pay is preserved for
less hours at work. Care to comment?
And then the 'game' starts over....
