I can only hope this catches on in the US! > In neighbouring Sweden, where the 6-hour-day has already been applied since 2015, results showed that employees were happier, wealthier and more productive, as they were still fully paid and customers were more satisfied. Whoa! I did not know that this was already a thing. Well, here's hoping more orgs in the US take notice.

It was a small scale experiment and is not the norm in Sweden

sounds like it was a very limited pilot, not a country-wide initiative.

the experiment failed and was not continued. and unfortunately they fail because of costs and a globalised world. for example china's 996 model would eat europe whole if this ever got implemented over there.

  I doubt 996 is as effective as a normal 955 model and if it is it is probably short lived.

    my problem is this: what if 996 is the most effective system but can only be applied in certain systems, such as some china factories?
