A four-day working week pilot programme is being squarely aimed at the UK tech sector with the final results to be assessed by academics.

*Disclaimer: As always with these posts, its about 32 hour work week, 4 days a week, 8 hours a day, no reduction in pay.*
It will be all positives (higher effiency, higher revenue, healthier & happer employees) and then be ignored by the masses.
There is essentially no negative effects shown so far in previous studies. Even the management and leadership loves it. Thats why most companies decides to continue with 4day work week even when the trial or study concludes.
