This type of research is guaranteed to obtain (and report) the results they want to see ahead of time. Can you imagine a title "four-day week trial reports reduced productivity" ?
- Wowfunhappy 4y ago> Can you imagine a title "four-day week trial reports reduced productivity"? ...yes. I don't have any trouble imagining that.
- credit_guy 4y agoAh, ... ok? Are you just imagining that this can happen period? Or you have a more specific scenario in mind? Who would run the trial? Why do they run the trial? Are they completely unbiased in their expectations before running the trial? For example, if the organization running the trial hosts their website at www.4dayweek.com. Still unbiased? Really?
- l3uwin 4y agoI can easily imagine a number of former bosses I've had cherry picking anything they can find to uphold the status quo.
- credit_guy 4y agoAbsolutely. And that's where the problem is: both parties are biased. No research on this topic, or the topic of Universal Basic Income, or gender-based equal pay, or immigration's impact on economy, or lots of other contentious topics, is unbiased. Whenever you read this type of research, you need to take it with a huge grain of salt.
