Comment on Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true.

  Yeah, but there’s also no way anyone in the Nordics would be fine with a nine-hour workday. There’s something clearly wrong here.

  I’d rather guess that they’re working a five-day workweek but have cut the hours per day from 8 to 7.2, or 8 hours Mon-Thu and 4 hours on Friday or the like. The article just comes off as weird.

    That’d be a 5-day workweek. Sorry you can’t imagine someone only wanting to work 4 days a week, even if it means they have to work a little longer, it seems inexorably reasonable to me 🤷‍♂️

      I think it’s far more likely that the article that doesn’t know what “sweep under the rug” means also got other stuff wrong.
