Sure, the headline of the article that's summarizing the study is obvious

Is this obvious?

> The study finds that when managers at a national retail chain failed to deliver birthday greetings on time, it resulted in a 50% increase in absenteeism and a reduction of more than two working hours per month.

Unfortunately it seems like it costs $20 to access the actual paper but I'm guessing it's more interesting than your snark warrants. I mean, maybe. Maybe it's a bad study too, who knows.
