    Little do they know that worker happiness is considered the enemy of productivity.* Plus, it’s harder to micromanage them when they’re at home.

      I don’t get this.

      When I was unhappy at my last job I was way less productive.

      Now I’m enjoying my new job and spend my time solving real technical problems and building real projects.

      I was considering taking a pay cut just to leave my last job it had gotten so toxic. You can pay employees less if they’re otherwise satisfied.
