“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.

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.
