capitalists are SOOOO BAD at actually increasing productivity. Like "Open Workplaces" was a fad and they somehow managed to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars essentially just removing cubicles, under the idea it'll foster better communication and shit and fit more people in a space reducing rent for offices, but eventually studies came out saying it DECREASED productivity like 20%. And it took a fucking deathplague to finally let people work from home, when rresearch almost consinstantly shows that if instead of working 5 days in the office, they worked 4 days at home, taking one hole day off, they would STILL be more productive, and it'd decimate fucking how much the company has to pay renting out office space. But of course they pooh-pooh that whenever you'd try to work from home, and do the other stupid thing that actuallly reduced productivity.
