News: Posters With Eyes Make People Less Selfish

In one of the more odd studies that I’ve heard of, English researchers have found that hanging posters with staring eyes cause workers to be less selfish. The results of the study showed that employees paid 2.76 times more for their breakroom drinks when they were faced with a poster featuring eyes staring back at them.

I wonder if their next study will have them hanging these posters on cubicle walls? If these magic posters can make people pay more money, surely they can make workers be more productive.

File that under a post of big brother is watching you.
