SuddenDownpourLet's increase worker productivity?
In France they’re trying to start talking about the week in 4 days. Not a 32h in 4 days week obviously, just our full week of work in just 4 days of 10h each.
Wow. That is just such a Macron statement…
Ahah, you know it!
Make something sound nice and add a twist that will just fuck everyone up but the rich.
But isn’t that still objectively better for the worker? It would be nice to have a few hours less but you still get 3 days off which everyone I’ve ever spoken to about it still says it was significantly better even with 2hr more of the work days
Depending on the job, 10h a day would be way too much. My experience is anecdotal but at the end of an 8h day, I’m already way too tired to focus, adding 2h to that would be pointless, as I wouldn’t be as productive.
That would also kill any time off you could have in the evening, coupled with a commute, it would be absolute hell in my opinion.
The point of a 32h week is to have people work less but better. 4 10 hours day is just squeezing every ounce of energy out of everyone, not sure another day off would be enough to recover.
Bwaa ha ha ha, that’s the American way! As someone who has worked 5/8, 4/10, and 3/12 I’ve preferred 4/10 over the others by far. A 32h workweek would be awesome but that ain’t happenin anytime soon in the US. We’re pretty screwed overall around here.
Meh. As a computer engineer, I already feel like I’m barely productive when it comes to complex tasks for the last 1-2 hours of my 7h day. A 3 days weekend might be enough to ensure I’m fully refreshed by Monday, but I feel like I’ll be mentally drained come Thursday morning, maybe even Wednesday.
It wouldn’t even properly benefit the rich since you can’t properly focus for that long, reducing the holy"productivity".
I trust them to find a way though
UristMost people can’t focus really hard for 8 hours either.
Big time!
Ah yes. The Belgium approach.
Quite usual in kitchens in The Netherlands in my experience. That extra day off makes more of a difference than the extra two hours on your workday.
Yeah, you do that and in the next crisis they’ll go “temporarily” to 5x10 and that will become the new normal.
