It is an open secret that people who are productive only 2/3 of the time in 40 hours/week would be productive only 2/3 of the time in 32 hours/week as well.

- Arcanum-XIII 5y agoThat's patently untrue: most of my colleague working 3 or 4 days a week are more focused their days in. The invert is true though: a task will evolve to take the time alloted to it, I see that regularly with "unconstrained" project running amok. Those with fixed time are way more efficient and finish with a minimum of overtime.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoEvery lazy slacker tells this same old story. I believe that most IT professionals don't even know what it means to work really hard. Oh, I worked producing lines of code 4 hours today, of which 25 minutes were spent compiling. I am sooo tired, my job is so difficult, it is the hardest job in the world, I need a rest and a 2 days work week!.
- rainonmoon 5y agoI hear what you're saying, but anecdotally I just cut my days back and find myself a lot more energised and engaged when actually at work. I haven't really compared my degree of output yet, but I can at least say I'm a lot more emotionally invested in the results of my work and my job satisfaction is higher. One's mileage may vary.
