@jilleduffy I think there was an article of the MIT that stated something similar, calling for making sure workers take meaningfull breaks without having something run in the background to prevent burnout.
Though they were looking at it from a different perspective, that is people picking up work outside their expertise (they failed to address the problem of the worker being unable to check the correctness on processes they are unfamiliar with wiith, which is a yikes from me)
