"Mark is about a month in, and almost done."
the only question is, does Mark also get the salary of 5 ppl working for 6 months in 1 month that he worked on this? i doubt it. so who really is winning from this “kilo speed”? so far it sounds like pay 1 employee and get output of 5, which is an awesome deal, if you’re the one paying that salary. but for those on the receiving end of this transaction it sounds like a highway to burnout speedrun any%, if the baseline expectation became that you constantly have to juggle 5 tasks in parallel just to get by
