Would you prefer a 4-day workweek?

Last year, 61 companies in UK tested a 4-day week with 20% fewer hours. Results:

65% fewer sick days taken & 57% drop in departures to competitors.

39% of employees had less #stress; 71% had less #burnout.

Revenues rose 1.4% on average.

“Many questioned whether we would see an increase in productivity to offset the reduction in working time – but this is exactly what we found,” a study team member said.

Working a four-day week boosts employee wellbeing while preserving productivity, major six-month trial finds

Research involving 61 UK organisations found a 20% reduction in working time with no loss of pay led to significant drops in workforce stress and sick days, an increase in worker retention, and a much better work-life balance for most employees – all while “key business metrics” were met.

Companies have already announced roughly $175 billion worth of stock buybacks so far this year.

That’s more than double last year's pace.

If there was ever a time to ban stock buybacks — or at least tax them more heavily — it's now.

Anyone else seeing a complete empty timeline on Twitter like you have just signed up? I was following nearly 1000 account, guess they have created some tweets recently. Not actively using #twitter anymore, so not a problem, just weird.

As I love the soy sauce of Tomasu and the music of Charlotte de Witte, immediately ordered this one

Until 1982 stock buybacks were illegal. Maybe that wasn’t a bad idea. If companies have too much cash they better invest in their people and innovation.

By the way, the same corporations telling us they have no choice but to raise prices are simultaneously spending billions of dollars on stock buybacks to enrich their wealthy shareholders.
