      Germany wrapped a 4-day workweek trial with 45 companies—most loved it and plan to keep it. Workers felt better, companies stayed productive, and hiring got easier. Not everyone’s convinced, but hey, more chill time sounds like a win.

      As someone who is working only 4 days a week I can say it is amazing. I am way more productive, and have more free time. My company is actually doing more money with me now (since I am not costing that much, but still bill the same amount of hours to my clients)

      Germany just speedran what half the world is too afraid to try. Four days. Full output. Happier humans.

      We’re going back in time in the US. Nazis on the rise, children in the workforce, and turning away immigrants and asylum seekers like they’re plague carriers. A 4 day workweek is as unfathomable a possibility here as a fraction of whatever worker perks yall have in most of Europe 😭

      In the meantime our conservative and neoliberal politicians want us to work more (veiled as „more flexible“) hours. Don’t be fooled by the term „Germany“ in the title.

      32 hrs work and get paid the same? Sign me up! I’d be producing less for the same pay (I’m a machinist), so the cost to the customer would go up, but I’d love to have more time.

      Please tell me it’s still 8 hours/day and not 10 hours per day work week. 10 hours per day + commute is ridiculous. You will not convince me people are being productive in their 9th hour at the office.

      Even if the 32 hours made up for the hours lost, I’d still try and work as much OT as I could if hourly. Alos the cost of less productivity for more money will 100% get passed on to the consumer.

      Be careful about these 4-day headlines. The studies surrounding these have massive issues. They tend to be massively flawed in data and procedures.
