It is an interesting story and definitely sounding real to me.
Regarding the employer and employee's perspective- to each his own. Why I say this is that there are all kinds of people and employers in the world. But at the same time, I feel that the 'Performance angle' is surely coming, and more and more companies would value performance than cost cutting if they have a broader and long term perspective.
