Well at least it'll curb some entitlement from the current IT crowd. A lot of IT people making 4x more than people of other professions assume that they are the cream of the crop and sincerely believe that their work is so hard that they deserve to have a 4 hour working day (because it is 'impossible' on being productive for a longer period of time in a day).
No. People in other areas work just as hard, or harder, it's just their industries are not that trendy. Just like IT was in 80s - and developers where geeks who were paid not much more than other white collar jobs.
- tartoran 5y agoThe question of working 4 hours is more like 4 hours of intense work and honestly nobody in any industry could consistently put more than 4 hours a day without burning themselves up (or they’re some type A personality and feel miserable not working every single waking moment of their lives). Second, the IT industry has some of the highest burnout rates, that must have something to do with the amount of work put in, don’t you think?

- fuckblaine 5y agooh cry me a river of tears. You obviously have no idea of what it is like to work 8-12 hours a day, for 6 days a week, of constant concentration for days, turning to months, turning to years on end. Get real - you've been spoilt and have no clue of how others earn a living
- ridiculous_leke 5y agoThat looks like a problem you can solve by changing the company which is relatively easy in Tech/IT.
- RestlessMind 5y agoWe should pull other professions up, not pull IT down. Else we will close more doors to a middle class life.
- Andrew_nenakhov 5y agoPulling up other industries isn't something that you 'do'. It happens (or not) naturally, when the industry is growing and generates more wealth. Often at the expense of other people, I must add. Disastrous healthcare situation in the US is actually very lucrative for people in Health and Insurance industries.
