I think stuffing 10 hours in a workday will have a diminishing rate of productivity return during the last couple of hours during the workday.

- Apocryphon 7y agoHow about a compromise? 4x9 hours.
- xboxnolifes 7y agoI like 4x9, because a lot of work is already 5x9 if you include mandatory lunch break.
- anticensor 7y agoMandatory or "mandatory"?
- SauciestGNU 7y agoI have a huge problem with the 5x9 expectation. 9-5 means 9-5 including a lunch. I promise any employer that demanding my presence from 8-5 (or any other 9 hours) will not result in greater productivity, and furthermore will leave me disgruntled. There's only so much development that can be done in a day before I'm in a haze from all the abstract thought, and that productivity asymptote comes well under 8 hours.
- jinglebells 7y agoIt's 4 hours for me. Doesn't matter how long the day is, maximum concentration tops out at 4 hours. The rest of the time is just admin work, emails and house keeping.
- gordon_freeman 7y agoI think it depends on what kind of work is performed. For the manufacturing industry, this would be a very bad idea as workers will start losing focus during the last hours of the day which potentially would increase the volume of workplace injuries.
- NullPrefix 7y agoWait, so do we want hours clocked or productivity? 32h week is about productivity.
- magicram 7y agoI like 4*8 ==32 hrs productivity instead of hours being spend.
