Around here it's "it doesn't matter if I suffer, as long as my neighbour suffers more than I do". It's even a saying.
The experiment seems ripe for gaming though - just have the control group gradually lose productivity (if needed) to be just below the test group, so it seems like 30hrs/week is definitely better than 40hrs/week. Assuming they're measuring productivity with some easy to game number, which I hope they aren't.
- mcv 12y agoYeah, gaming it seems unavoidable. It cannot be a blind study. You can't help but notice how many hours you work, don't you? You need a pretty long term experiment, so the 30 hour group gets the chance to settle in their new rhythm, and you need a control group that doesn't know they're the control group, presumably from a different city that happens to have very similar productivity.
