Tech CEO: 4-day work week didn't hurt or help productivity. I think personally it is a good idea. (www.theregister.com)

I did work at one place that did 4-10s and it was pretty good. Once you break the base-programming of "the weekend" it actually makes a lot of sense. Of course, new management showed up one day and fucked the entire thing up because money and kikes. They saw "duplicate" employees from Sun to Wed and then from Wed to Sun and felt mandatory overtime "on rotation" was a better idea. Welp it wasn't and most of us packed up and walked. I left without notice. New place wanted me to start ASAP and I said fine.

Looking back this was probably done on purpose to clear out people so they could bring in their own.

As an employer myself, I don't care about the number of hours worked so much as I do about the work getting done. If I only had employees who did 8 hours of work in 2 hours, and I had nothing else for them to do, I'd be happy to keep them at a full time wage and let them leave after 2 hours. They would be super loyal and never want to leave. Finding such people is damn near impossible, and most hires end up being the least worst option. So you make do with what you can get.

About this sub

THE RULES:

No advertising, this includes "Free stuff for your whatever" type posts, even if you didn't write the post.
Posts must be about things businesses are doing. Posts that are nothing more than long writeups with links to things that "help your business" or explain "why you need this for your business" are advertising and fall under rule #1.
Keep memes and image posts on topic for what businesses are doing.
You're free to talk about what you've done in making your personal business a success, but talk about it in general terms. Don't give product names, pictures, or any kind of links.
Start at #1 and read the rules again.

Posts that are amusingly bad may be moved to and deemed "Coke." Batteries are not included, this offer void where prohibited by law, which is pretty much everywhere including the moon, Mars, and specifically exoplanet GA3-701 where it is punishable by a fine of not less than 15²⁸ stimborbs and 376 solar years in prison. No cash value save that which is in your pants pockets and will need to be given to us. By using this sub, you offer control of your eternal soul to stupidbird who may use it for whatever purposes, up to and including the dark arts in which case your only recourse is to appeal to the council of evil and have your petition denied. Birds are not real. We’ll decide what will be on the contract. You’ll pay us to be allowed to do the work. You will make the product. Then you’ll give it to us, and it will be ours forever. If anybody buys it, we might give you some money. If you’re lucky. Or we might put it in a drawer and forget about it. In any event you will get nothing, and you will thank us for it. This isn't the algorithm, it is close. You understand that any breach of this agreement will invoke unspecified consequences of a dire nature, potentially affecting your being in ways beyond your comprehension. Proceed at your own peril. We've increased your synergy, but this sub cannot save you money if you own a parakeet. Parakeets are not real.
