      Results were good, morale improved. Dramatic? Yes. Surprising? No.

  My job does 4.5 days at full pay during summer, and it is so goddamn liberating. I actually have time to do things, I have more energy because I can take extra time to rest after completing my weekend tasks, I can get into doctors without missing work and having to make it up later. Genuinely, fighting for 4 day week, 8 hour days, and full 40 hour pay should be higher on the labor movements priority list, like it was when we won the 40 hour week in the first place.

    The thing is, we aren’t dying or getting maimed on a regular basis. We should fight harder, but the average person doesn’t have anywhere near the same interest in improving working conditions as people in the start of the twentieth century.

    I say this as someone who suggested unionizing at my previous company and there was zero interest. The place where I currently work is unionized, thank goodness.

  Full screen pop up ad after 5 seconds delay? Clickbait ass title? Newsweek is such a joke of a website now lmfao. Their business feels like it’s actually just one dude, 30 aliases, and an LLM subscription at this point.

  I currently work 4 ten hours days per week and I couldn’t be happier

  Just wait until you try 3x12s. I could never go back.

    What about 3x8 and we take back the means of production?

      That’s a whole different thing.

    That sounds horrendous. I’m already NOT productive for a full 8 hour day. Extending that to 12 isn’t going to help anyone

    It’s really the best. Those three days are completely useless for anything other than work, though.

  I feel very lucky to work 4 10 hour days rather than 5 8s. Though, it does often feel like a waste of time when we all spend the last hour and a half taking.

  Do you have the same load of work with less work time?

    For a lot of these jobs, no one really works for 4 hours non-stop, then lunch, then another 4 hours non-stop. They take breaks, get distracted, play on their phones, etc.

    People are actually more productive during a shorter work week, so the same amount of work gets done, but psychologically it doesn’t seem like more work.
