Ask HN: Why not optimize the number of working hours for each employee?
2 by amichail | 1 comments on Hacker News.
At some point, working too much will result in a worse outcome. But this point may vary from employee to employee. So why not optimize the number of working hours for each (full-time) employee separately? Employees might try to game this system but you could always fire an employee whose optimal result is substandard for the company.
