Cute story, though I suspect a portion of this amazing productivity was predicated on the concept of getting low-level workers to work harder and harder for no greater reward except not losing their (sh*tty) job.
So someone is paying the price of this awesome productivity, and it ain't the guys at the top. Of course, if that sort of thing doesn't bother you, then all you need to do is work out how to be one of the guys at the top, earning massive amounts for a 40-hour week, than one of the guys at the bottom, earning a pittance for working exactly the same hours.
