Now, having said all that, Paul is quite right that long working hours are
grossly inefficient. There's a pile of time-and-motion studies from last
century which show that productivity falls as the working day gets longer,
so someone working a 60-hour week just isn't getting much more done than
someone working their eight hours a day. Managers can't see this, but then
managers are mostly idiots.


As a manager does the above mean I am also not an idiot? ;-)
