I think the problem arrises when we "kill the 40-hour work week" _fully_: there's no consensus on working hours so it creates the problem he's describing; "the world is ruled by morning people" and all that.
- qntty 10y agoIf it's true that so many people depend on the 40 hour workweek being the norm, then no amount of added flexibility will fully kill it.
- ryanSrich 10y agoThe argument should be for a 4 hour standard working day. This gives the freedom to flex another 4 hours whenever is most convenient.
- em3rgent0rdr 10y agoThat's a great compromise solution!
- laughfactory 10y agoThis is a good suggestion in many ways, but could be quite inefficient as long as we have the commute culture we have. I.e., you commute for an hour each way and work an 8 hour day? Your commute is 20% of your work day. If you work a 4 hour day, and still commute two hours a day, your commute is 33% of your day. Yikes. So this is a good solution for remote workers, but bad for everyone else.
