Bits Kingdom🏖 Fridays are magic. We live for them.
So… what if you had two every week?

Totally.
Weirdly, today, Japan, Europe, the Scottish government and other capitalists are embracing a #4dayworkweek (not just 5 days of work compressed into 4) because it's gooder for productivity and other capitalist exploitation metrics.
A weird coincidence, but I'll take it!
Heliographoh hell yea

Australian Council of Trade Unions says it's time for a shorter work week to boost performance and reduce burnout
The peak union group says a shorter work week would improve productivity and reduce burnout, adding workers should also be able to share in the spoils of the expected artificial intelligence boom.
JosephA recent study on the #4DayWorkweek has unsurprisingly found:
Reduce work hours + maintain pay = improve happiness + boost mental and physical health
While the well-being aspect is unsurprising, I do not see any claim regarding overall productivity. Certainly I would expect a boost in the long-term productivity. Too bad it apparently wasn't studied though.

4-day workweek boosts well-being and job satisfaction, study shows
Working long hours week after week, with no end in sight, takes a toll on employees. Long work hours have been shown to significantly decrease mental and physical health and lead to less productivity at work. This can also cost companies more in the long run by increasing health insurance costs and spending more on employee turnover.

🤖🎩 "AI will save us all!" say the prophets of tech, proposing a 4-day week like they just invented sliced bread. Meanwhile, CEOs pat themselves on the back for gifts of free Fridays, ignoring the 24/7 Slack pings. But hey, at least the robots are doing *something* useful. 🙄
