I think it would be difficult to do it in good faith because the CEOs can subtlely fuck with the results on both ends. Like order other non-janitors to pick up some of the more urgent cleaning/maintenance work to make them seem less important (or maybe offer secret bonuses to people to “just clean up because they like to be helpful” or something). Also order their own subordinates to do crazy (but reversible) things while the CEO is away.
The same thing I’d expect them to do for experiments with alternate economic systems, sabotage the shit out of it so they can say “see, this won’t work!”
It’d be fun to actually have a study to point to. Feels like the type of thing people cloud try.
