This is not capitalism. Capitalism want to exploit workers the most efficient way. It has been well-established (by Henry Ford and others) that absolute peak performance (per week) for mental workers is around 36h/week with 6h per day. You can add about 2h/day of simple administrative work, but that is it. Have them work more, lose money even if the additional time is unpaid.

What this is is a "slave holder" mind-set where everybody must be miserable and have nothing outside of work so the slaves are to tired and worn-out to even think about rebellion.

It has been well established for something like 100 years now that peek performance per week for mental workers is at around 36h/week, 6h per day. You can increase that to around 40h without losing too much. But go to 12h/6 days and performance will drop massively below peak (in absolute performance per week), due to mistakes, wiped out creativity and insight, sickness, burn-out, competent people leaving, etc.

The only thing this approach accomplishes is toxic virtue-signaling. Everybody sane should stay far away from such a place that celebrates abject stupidity.

Yes, theoretically, that is possible. But it requires measurements on the qbits and it requires manipulation on the qbits, both with high chances of breaking the entanglement. Hence this does not make any sense at all. The very point of quantum-error correction is that you do not need to touch the qbits outside of quantum operations to minimize that collapse risk while reducing noise.
