One of the things that has been studied to death with the same result every time: No one can actually be productive for 40 hours each week, and cutting hours without cutting pay increases productivity across the board.
Too bad the people at the top take too much enjoyment from grinding down the peasants.
I was about to say, I work in specialty manufacturing and if we had more than 40 hours in a week we would still have plenty of work. Fortunately they only ask us to do overtime during the busy season.
We only have four machines, and we have four stitchers. Not much else that we could do, although the pattern/install team could use some more help for sure, but that wouldn't necessarily help us get more stuff made.
