They try to squeeze the last bit of productivity out of the workforce - while salaries stagnate.
Sure, there are studies that show that a good work-life-balance (like the 4 day workweek) increase productivity and reduce sic days - but that doesn't feel right.
It gives the boss a much better feeling to scream at his employees, force overtime, micromanage, set impossible goals and work them to the bone. How can you feel like a boss if you don't increase your workers misery?
