The reason we have to pay people to work is that work is inherently unpleasant compared to the alternatives. At OA5 we recognize that the best way to make employees satisfied about their work is to help them get away from it as much as possible. An OA5 company isn t willing to settle for less productivity from the employees, just less time. There s a limit to how much happiness you can get while you re at work. Big gains in happiness can only be made by spending more time away from work.
People know how to compress their activities to fit a reduced time.
Doing so increases both their energy and their interests. The payoff is direct and personal they go home early. A Company can t do much to stimulate happiness and creativity, but it can do a lot to kill them. The trick for the company is to stay out of the way. Sooner or later the ant will realize it s a bad idea, although the bear might not.
