It's silly, who wouldn't answer yes to the question "would you like to finish your task faster?". The real trick is to produce more but by putting less effort than before.
- the_af 7mo agoIf you finish faster, you'll be given another task. You're not freeing yourself sooner or spending less effort, you're working the same number of hours for the same pay. Your reward is not joining the ranks of those laid off.
- tdeck 7mo ago> who wouldn't answer yes to the question "would you like to finish your task faster?" People who enjoy the process of completing the task?
