“I believe that people deserve to spend more time with their families, loved ones, hobbies and other aspects of life, such as culture. This could be the next step for us in working life,” the prime minister commented on the new proposal.

4 days work week with 10 hours per working day is reasonable, I will take it anytime.
No.
40 hours a week isn’t some magic number that we have to adhere to. We should be working less.
I mean, if we all collectively, as a species decided we wanted a post-scarcity society where everyone is guaranteed whatever they need to live including food, shelter and healthcare, we could do it with relative ease. We have the infrastructure and technology to reduce work for everyone by a drastic degree, and many people would be freed up to study, develop science and make the system even more efficient.
But we’re not even at the point of a 4-day workweek being acceptable broadly, we’re not that unified species, we’re FAR from it. Baby steps my friend. Baby steps.
I’d rather work 32 please
So is a 4 day work week with 8 hours per working day.
I honestly think a lot of hours we spend working are spent “working.” I know my, and my colleagues, 40 hour weeks certainly are less than 40 hours but I also don’t get paid enough so I think it’s a fair trade off.
I do get my shit done though and work late if I have to so it isn’t like I’m screwing anyone.
Seriously though I think we need to accept that we just don’t need the standard to be 40 hours of labor as the expected time. We arrived at it artificially and can just as easily walk away from that and into a brighter future with less work and more time with our family and friends. I’m sure we would even see productivity gains as folks are happier and healthier.
