Productivity has to do with quantity, not quality.

Productivity means that phone calls are answered by robots rather than humans.
Productivity means that products only last 2-5 years.
Productivity means that products cannot be repaired, that if even one little bit of plastic is broken one is forced to buy a whole new product and throw away the old.
Productivity means that packaging takes more space than the product itself.
Productivity means that so much unneeded junk is added.
Productivity means that primary resources that are not low-lying are wasted.
Productivity means that workers cannot be happy, respected and proud of their work.

Lets do away with productivity and concentrate on quality instead!

Remember the good old days when we had less items, but one bread-winner's job was sufficient to feed a family comfortably?

Yah got it in one Yuyutsu, I don't know about this 2 to 5 years bit, more like 2 to 5 minutes.

Yuyutsu rings up Robbie The Robot to complain his telly's not working;

Yuyutsu; "Yuyutsu, here my telly's not working."
RtheR; "That does not compute, please state the reason for this call"
Yuyutsu; "MY...TELEVISION...DON'T... WORK"
RtheR; "Did you say, you have doughnuts stuck in your arse"
Yuyutsu; "NO"
RtheR; "GOODBYE"

The wonders of modern technology, problem solved.

Productivity is making sufficient profit for the employer to warrant him keeping you on !
