New Study Bolsters Public Health Case for a Four-Day Work Week

  I worked at a place that prided itself on being “data driven”. They put it on tshirts and made fun of startups they said were driven by emotions and gut feelings.

  Someone brought up four day workweeks. They said every study they’d seen showed it was better for everyone involved.

  The ceo, one of the big “data > feelings” guys, just laughed and said “we’re not doing that.”. Didn’t look at any data or studies. Just shut it down.

  So I’m glad there’s another study about this, but I don’t know how to get through to the thin skinned leaders.

    These executives don’t ever care about facts. They care about money and control, always. Not being rich in this oligarchy is rough 😞

    My manager at my last job would occasionally ask if anything would make my job better. I would always say “a 4-day work week,” citing weeks where I had taken Friday off as an example of how much more productive I was.

    She would always respond by laughing and saying, “not gonna happen. Anything else?”
