AMEN. More 4-day workweek trial results are coming in hot and spicy!

According to WSJ, “After six months, workers said they had less burnout, improved health and more job satisfaction, and had cut their average work time by about four hours to 34 hours a week.”

The 40 hour workweek may be a helpful general measure (it certain was for the factory workers stuck in 16 hour shifts), but by no means should it be universally applied to all work.

Technology has really advanced since the 1940s and productivity has skyrocketed so significantly, that exponential growth has been considered normal. Which is bonkers, really – why is unsustainable growth the bar?

So in short, people over profits. But if it helps, perhaps more profits can be made when people are put first.
