An overwhelming proportion of the most productive employees at SaleCo’s regional offices work not eight hours a day, five days a week, as do other SaleCo employees, but rather ten hours a day, four days a week, with Friday off. Noting this phenomenon, SaleCo’s president plans to increase overall productivity by keeping the offices closed on Fridays and having all employees work the same schedule—ten hours a day, four days a week.

Which of the following, if true, provides the most reason to doubt that the president’s plan, if implemented, will achieve its stated purpose?

A.Typically, a SaleCo employee’s least productive hours in the workplace are the early afternoon hours.
B.None of the employees who work four days a week had volunteered to work that schedule, but all were assigned to it by their supervisors.
C.Working ten hours a day has allowed the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees.
D.Employees at SaleCo are compensated not on the basis of how many hours a week they work but on the basis of how productive they are during the hours they are at work.
E.Those SaleCo employees who have a four-day workweek do not take any of their office work to do at home on Fridays.

D不對的思路為何
答案給C

我覺得D是無關選項耶
the president's plan是to increase overall productivity
可是D的重點是pay的標準

C則明確的直接weaken plan的前提 所以C比較好

To Gullings
我怎麼看不出來, D選項是以pay為標準
是那個compensate那個字嗎/?

[Jessy]

compensate 給..報酬
D.Employees at SaleCo are compensated not on the basis of how many hours a week they work(不是以工時計酬) but on the basis of how productive they are (以產能計酬)during the hours they are at work.
D是對公司計酬的政策作說明, 對於most reason to doubt that the president’s plan並沒有起作用

[liwuu]

如果拋開這些,以管理學的觀點來看...
一般情況下,薪資以'產能計酬'會比以'工時計酬'還能提高productivity!!
所以我覺得D選項甚至還有點support的意味(當然這邊可能稍微超出題目範圍了)

To mikelee 我要表達的就是Jessy的意思 沒講清楚不好意思哦 i10

另外 Iiwuu說的很有道理 不過以ETS的觀點來說
這應該變成近一步堆論了<====我最容易犯的毛病 唉

ps.發現有好多圖案哦 好可愛呀~~~

Good job,大家都解釋的很棒
感恩!!!

請問一下
C Working ten hours a day has allowed the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees.

C不被打擾不是比較好媽?
為何可以反駁阿?? 我看錯意思了媽?

謝謝

Working ten hours a day has allowed the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees.
以前每天工作10小時的員工有兩小時可以安靜工作不受打擾
現在大家都工作10小時,就會互相干擾..

[micht]

那是因為 那些加班的人工作10小時比一般人8來的productive主要原因是因為

那多出來的兩小時沒有人干擾!!

所以SaleCo’s president plans 要求大家都工作10小時 然後星期五放假

this will not increase overall productivity.. (本來自己加班效率好些)

現在大家如此 那本來的advantage就沒了..so undermines the conclusion.

想在請教C選項
我今天在看C選項,看不出他是再講以前還是一天工時8小時
是不是那個has allowed
我一開始認為C選像是在一天工時10小時的所得出的一個結論
但看了大家的解釋後,才明瞭原來是在一天八小時工時下的結論??? 8-|

[davidlee0222]

題目說
那些最有生產力的員工大多每週工作四天每天十小時
老闆說乾脆全公司都這樣
問反駁

C這些最有生產力的員工每天工作十小時
使他們在多出的2小時裡不受打擾

因此若大家都每天作十小時
他們被打擾生產力就下降了
因此反駁

冒昧問一下您的問題是??

[訪客]

Hi...David
我懂你的意思
因為我最近發現到我在理解句子上面有些問題
所以我說昨天在看C選項的時候,以為他是在president宣布員工每天工作10小時後,所產生的結論,但看了大家的解釋後,發現到原來這個結論是在president宣布員工每天工作10小時前,產生的
所以我問說為什麼我沒辦法判斷C的句子是在是在president宣布員工每天工作10小時前,產生的??

C.Working ten hours a day has allowed the most productive employees to work two hours alone each day in their respective offices relatively undisturbed by fellow employees.

希望我的外星語有人聽懂

由上面的句意推得
productive 的workder 不是那些一般工作8 hours 者
而是超時工作10hours
