[QUOTE="Sketcher, post: 71431867, member: 27106"] A few points here: - My company knows that merely working us to the bone does not help with productivity or long-term sustainability. We're encouraged to get up from our desks every hour or two because breaks help. Furthermore, they also recognize that constantly working 60+ hours can lead to burnout. That burnout makes all the training and on-job experience a sunk cost. - Mandatory time-and-a-half for every hour worked over 40 makes extra long work weeks expensive. This has incentivized them to discourage 50+ hour work weeks. As in, outside of certain exceptions for very busy months, you would get an e-mail from a higher-up reminding you of this policy if you worked more hours than 50. - The point of all this is hitting the "sweet spot" between the expenses in what you invest in your labor force and profitable productivity from that labor force. - People start businesses to make profits. This provides jobs to people which serves them by providing them with money, corporate benefits, an enhanced skill set, and the dignity of having something productive to do. I agree that the best social program is a job. Profit isn't bad, it shouldn't be discouraged. [/QUOTE]
