I recommend everyone involved in this discussion pick up a book called "The Overworked American" by Juliet Schor. It was released almost 3 decades ago, yet remains an eye-opening account of the history and current reality of "middle class" work patterns. There's a part early on about piece-work (which was done in the home, before and at the advent of automation), and I think readers will find the attitudes of the companies that employed these workers to be familiar to anyone fight RTO. Over a century later, the issue remains the same: NOT productivity, but control. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Overworked_American https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Overworked_American
