Seems like someone has implemented the OA5 Company Model. See here[^] start at slide 322.

It does - but the company was started in the 40's and predates OA5 by decades!
I was surprised how well it worked: being used to a company culture of "you're here until the work's done" with unpaid overtime the norm it was a shock to the system. But it really helped you focus by enforcing breaks away from the task, and formed the basis of my current system of taking frequent breaks to "keep fresh". And it was superb for morale and work / life balance!

So Scott Adams didn't invent it, he just wrote it down.
I especially like the part about "One level removed".
My current company has understood that part almost to perfection, even if I doubt they ever heard the expression as such.

I had a boss when I started work who was strict on 9-5 with lunch 12-1. I hated it but, yes, it forced you to use your time well.
Or faff about to close the last 25 minutes of the day. Faffing was good.

I have worked at a place which was 08:30 to 17-00 mon to thur & 08:30 : 16-30:00 that is how it was written down (?) if you worked past 5pm you were in danger of being reported by the cleaners, the first place I worked at was 10:00 to 16:00 core hours anything outside as necessary (I tended to 09:30 to 17:00, as I found I could get ahead of the Americans if I did)

When I was at primary school there was a lad in what is now termed 'Special Needs'. He had that odd smile where the lips are tightly pursed and the eyes slightly bulging. It was the kind of smile where you think the person has probably just had a little accident but thinks they got away with it. A kind of moronic smugness that is totally ungrounded in any reality. That is the face of the Republican nominee.
