Ah well, I wonder. That “productivity” might be an illusion, the way old-fashioned face time was once thought to contribute to the illusion (manufactured for the boss) of hard work, though not itself useful. The human brain needs rest time. But I don’t know if productivity of those 24/7 workers has been measured in a sound, qualitative way.
