What was the 12 hour work day designed around? The 10 hour one?
There is a conspiracy at play, but it isn’t the one described here. It’s MUCH more boring: the markets punish deviating from constructed labour norms. It’s why when Microsoft announces layoffs every tech company does the same. It has nothing to do with the reality of every balance sheet. It’s just placating the market.
