Focusing on the type of work being done is a bit of a bike shed, since the experiment isn't about the work per se, but the measurement of the work as a function

Focusing on the type of work being done is a bit of a bike shed, since the experiment isn't about the work per se, but the measurement of the work as a function of the employee alone - ie, without the context of the systems in which the employee functions. A good example of the type of mismeasurement done in non-manufacturing contexts is the ridiculously stupid burn-down chart.
