Workers at companies that tested out a 4-day workweek are happier and more efficient — and firms made more money. One lawmaker says it’s ‘here to stay.’::The latest data shows that workers and companies prosper under a four-day workweek. Rep. Mark Takano wants to make it law.

    I mean, did this really need testing to find it would work?

    Working fewer days is obviously going to make us happier and, as a result, work better.

      Yeah but the cherry on top is that, for example computer guys&gals will produce better on a 4 day week than on a 5 day week! It’s not like being “on” @80percent makes you produce 90% of what you did when being “on” @100%. It’s giving you a day totally free (same salary, not longer days) and you produce at 105%.

      Work@home have also shown more productivity.

      That’s why we start to wonder why the hell middle management wants us back in the office, at a maximum hours a week.

      They probably are bored all alone, and are devoid of empathy, that’s my take anyways!

      The hope was given this research, companies would be swayed by its evidence and logic. The reality is that companies operate off of neither.
