Are the workers that are getting paid in advance 6.2% more productive or are the workers not getting paid in advance 6.2% less productive because of that? Both scenarios make sense to me. I can envision working better if I don't have to constantly worry about my financial situation. But I can also envision working less if I know some people are getting paid in advance, but not me.
Either way, boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time.

This question isn't meaningful. "Less" and "more" are relative terms. There's no way to choose which one is occurring in the absolute.
- username90 6y agoIt does matter a lot, changing things usually creates a short term improvement but over time that improvement goes away. This is a very common problem when evaluating teaching methods etc, basically any change at all will make teachers and kids excited and improve learning, but once those changes becomes standard the improvements go away and sometimes even reverse.
