Yeah.

I work for a large telecom, and most techs complete two jobs per day.

Before computerization when everything was paper based: 2 jobs a day

With computers and remote access to test heads: 2 jobs a day

With automated end-to-end testing and dispatch: 2 jobs a day

Unless there is a financial incentive to be more productive, that outweighs any negatives of being so (e.g. peer pressure), then nothing will change.
