Proof yet again that "business leaders" typically don't know shit about shit.

It's referred to as Escalation of Commitment (at least in business school).

Some people have a really hard time admitting when they've been wrong. Especially if they feel tricked/bamboozled. So instead, they double down with their original premise. In other words, there's just no convincing someone who doesn't have an open mind.

Like "Longmire," or "The Mentalist."

The bad guy was gone, what else was left? End the show on that.

The color palette is pleasing, but there's still an unnaturalness. Like still-life uncanny valley.

The root issue is that all of the additional productivity is captured at the top, and none of it is dispersed among the greater company. Even reinvestment is now gone, replaced with stock buybacks, which were illegal for a number of years.

In short, there's no rising tide that lifts all boats, so debating work schedules and optimal hours is still a wasted endeavor. Labor needs an entire overhaul, or we will see a return to more drastic measures, which is the cycle that history has repeated time and again. Work, without prosperity, has no intrinsic value. Particularly when workers produce more than ever, and their efforts unmeritoriously enrich a few.
