Why should this be bullshit? Unlike the cleaning persons work a significant portion of this work involves thinking, both consciously and subconsciously. Sitting 2x the time at your desk does not necessarily equate to 2x work done while on the other hand you don't leave your work behind you after leaving. It's really not about working less but more on how to rightfully account the mind work in hours and about how to spend that time most productively.
> blah blah blah how can we work less and say it is a good thing? Lets write an article about it and rewrirte stuff which is out there for years.
Why shouldn't it be a good thing in general if the work still gets done? Especially for the tedious manual labor you mention which is automated away more and more.
