I do wonder how related this to to efficiency increases with shorter work weeks.
Are we seeing a symptom of this in 40hr work weeks, where people are really only working some value less than 40h, but they just expand their tasks?
If you reduce the workweek, is it not possible that eventually people will adjust so that they end up day-filling the shorter day, too?
- beerandt 7y agoI see your point, but suspect it has to do with expected productivity vs effort. As long as employers aren't seeing an overall decrease in productivity, and as long as employees don't have a significant increase in effort, efficiencies would make it win-win. This of course presumes that efficiency continues to increase with advances in methods, technology, etc.
