- Austerity measures cut staffing
- staff are overloaded
- shorten working hours by 20% (for same pay)
- ???
- profit
I’m a fan of 4 day week, but how the fuck is this supposed to work? Get staffing levels to the point where the services can actually keep up with demand.

Everyone I know that works for a local authority is on a 35 hour per week contract so you could probably reduce that to 4 x 8 hour days with no meaningful loss in actual work done. I expect that is what they will do.
