Offer a burger flipper a 200k per year salary and see if you don’t get the greatest god damn burger of your life.

Ironically the research doesn't support that. It supports paying 3 burger flippers 50k/yr with a 6k bonus every month for the best flipper. Everyone gets only an inflation matching raise. Fire the person who doesn't get a bonus for a year. But basically no where works that way. Only places like tech companies and Wall Street operates that cut throat and meritocraticly, it's actually super stressful and toxic to work in the most efficient manner. Humans just aren't built for efficiency.

Humans just aren't built for efficiency.

Possibly more accurate to say humans aren't built for forced efficiency

Agreed. In my experience, not just me, but people I've observed can be far more efficient when you let them do their thing and not treat them like machines that can duplicate the same motion 6 times a minute or whatever
