4-Day Workweek Brings No Loss of Productivity, Companies in Experiment Say : technology 
Generated by TLDR This:
Most of the companies participating in a four-day workweek pilot program in Britain said they had seen no loss of productivity during the experiment, and in some cases had seen a significant improvement, according to a survey of participants published on Wednesday.
Critics, however, worried about added costs and reduced competitiveness, especially when many European companies are already lagging rivals in other regions.
Jo Burns-Russell, the managing director at Amplitude Media, a marketing agency in Northampton, England, said the four-day workweek had been such a success that the 12-person company hoped to be able to make it permanent.
The result has been that the company is delivering the same volume of work and is still growing, even though half of the employees are off on Wednesdays and half on Fridays.
“It’s definitely been good for me in terms of making me not ping from thing to thing to thing all the time,” Ms. Burns-Russell said.
She has taken up painting as a hobby and feels calmer overall.

Lol except for the entire day of work you lose. These people dont seem to realize that the only people who could actually get a 4 day work week are people with cushy tech jobs. For Wagies and manufacturing its impossible.

4 10s unironically rocks. Like a long weekend every week, and management can't moan too much about losing hours.

Any place that was able to switch down to a 4 day week should be strongly considering doing a 20% downsize in every area that isn’t their bottleneck, because they were obviously over staffed
I suspect they’ll realize this in the next 6 months with the economic downturn and the massive layoffs will be a total surprise because no one saw it coming
