[QUOTE="JonB, post: 36284, member: 3047"] Where i worked back in the 70s, they always played musak all the time. At a barely audible sound level. They said it had been proven that musak promoted good work habits and better concentration. Being a rock and roller who played in a band - i hated it! You could get fired if you changed the channel - even late after hours and the owners walk in... which happened to me twice. That said - we were more productive at that lab than any other I've ever seen. The quality of work was superior as well in every department. It was a full service lab. Productivity and quality dropped when they started allowing personal Walkmans into the lab. So there may be some truth to it. (For you youngsters, Walkmans were tape players you could carry in your pocket and you wore headphones. iPods pretty much ended that market) [/QUOTE]
