A growing number of smaller companies are adopting a four-day workweek. Now the results of a recent trial at Microsoft suggest it could work even for the biggest businesses.

  • There’s been lots of research on this before; nearly universally productivity goes up when companies move to a 4 day week.

    The problem is that this would lessen corporate control on people because they’d get one extra day off, and that’s not acceptable to conservatives. It’s the same as with demanding people not work remotely; it’s all about power

    • Yep. People are being pushed back to work in offices even though studies indicate most office workers are more productive when they work from home. I saw someone on Mastodon sum it up as “people are getting paid for attendance” and that’s absolutely correct.
