    as so often, real political economic change can be organic rather than forced, and in the UK while at an early stage of this process, the four day working week is slowly but surely e becoming more widely adopted. Good!

      @ChrisMayLA6 It's a real answer to productivity increases not being mirrored in wages?

        Indeed, this is exactly how C19th & early C20th socialists hoped the economy would develop - productivity rises being taken not in wages but in more free time... that logic now seems finally to be taken more seriously

          @ChrisMayLA6 Also, cramming a week full is not smart planning wise for a lot of tasks. That is what the 20 pct research time in Google was about.

            @ChrisMayLA6 It can also make the employer employee relationship healthier that way. A common sense mentality towards swapping days hugely increases planning efforts. It also signals a lot both ways.

              yes agree; one of the clear misapprehensions is that everyone should work the *same* four days
