This study is a perfect fit the HN crowd who won't question the methodology and incentive systems because it fits their narrative.
Of course employee are going to report happy. What next? a study saying "Employees love more money for the same work?"

isn't this also about the firms loving it? If it's a win/win for both sides, what's the problem?
Some examples:
* Never-ending optimism about UBI, despite the maths clearly not working. Kind of similar to this really.
* Expecting salary to exactly match value - i.e. to get the same pay remote working no matter where you live. The number of people here that fundamentally don't understand that salary is a supply/demand negotiation is weird. And they really don't think it through to the obvious conclusion if it did happen - they'd get paid the same as people in Eastern Europe or India.
I think a 4-day work week could eventually happen, but HN types like to pretend it will make people more productive which it absolutely won't. It probably won't reduce productivity to 80%. More like 90%. But it will happen as a cultural shift; not because it increases productivity.
