Sounds like cope, tbh. If they are really seeing such amazing productivity gains, I'm guessing they are also reducing to a 3 hour work day, right?

  That’s not how productivity gains typically play out. Instead, the “saved” time (or ~5 hours in your example, assuming a 8 hour workday) can be used to increase output. So that would mean you still work 8 hours but get ~13 hours’s worth of output (8 + 5).

    will workers be paid more to reflect that higher output? rhetorical question, we all know the answer

      Not necessarily because labor is, like other resources, subject to supply and demand.
