... relative to day, when 40 hour week was established. Which was pretty low standard of living compared to what people are used today.
- ashtonkem 6y agoSure. But personally I’d be pretty happy to trade all the improvements in our living standard for an extra 20 hours a week of my life back. What’s a smart phone compared to the most precious thing we have, time? I’d also assert that a lot of pointless work is getting done. If workers are self-reporting that they work ~3.5hrs a day, then perhaps we wouldn’t even need to give up any quality of life if we just eliminate the need to fake being busy for 40hrs a week.
