If the point of the work was to deliver cubes, then it wouldn't be working smart.
But since the original premise was that they were working smart, that means it doesn't matter what shape the objects are delivered in.
It all makes sense, then. The logical conclusion of this business attitude is enshittification. Cut corners to bolster quantity at the sacrifice of quality. Then they lay people off because they don't actually care about higher quantity either, just minimizing labor costs.
No. Its one of those stupid motivational posters that doesn't make sense.
If he wanted to work smart sphere guy could have simply made a cylinder. It would have taken him less time to carve and transportation would have been just as easy, if not easier than the sphere because the ground pressure is spread over a larger surface area.
He's also lost about 48% of the original product. If he had made a cylinder, he'd only have lost 21% of the original product.
If it doesn't matter how much got delivered, then just trim a corner off and deliver that. He could have put it in his pocket and simply walked over.
