  1. Austerity measures cut staffing
  2. staff are overloaded
  3. shorten working hours by 20% (for same pay)
  4. ???
  5. 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.

  My council does fuck all as it is. Cutting it down to fuck all four days a week doesn’t quite make sense to me.
