This data dates back to the 1800s, at the time when unions force employers to cut hours, factory owners were surprised to find that productivity increased while accidents decreased. How did we get from hunger strikes and fistfights to voluntarily answering emails on Sunday nights and choosing to stay in the office to finish up?
We ‘chose’ to work long hours and answer emails because we think it’s the only way to keep our jobs or do them well.
Today, less than a hundred years later, we’ve given up that ground our ancestors fought so hard for. They worked so hard and fought so hard to secure fewer working hours for themselves and their offspring. Consider just for a moment how painful and labor intensive it was for our big ancestors to make a living back then.
