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? ;-)


Whilst i wouldn't dream of implying the negative, if you check, i think
you might find that your antecedent is denied there!
