I agree with you but some peoples identity are very much integrated with their work. Make them work less and their life becomes less meaningful.
For people like you and me, we work to live, not live to work. So we want to work less. It makes us feel happier and more free.
I think the salaries are also an issue. We can't cut salaries with 20% so this becomes an extra cost for the companies or the government, depending on who should pay for it.
Overall though, I think most people would agree that it's considered progress if humans work less so we can actually do more things than work with our lives.
- kqr 5y agoThis is not about making people work less, it's about giving people the option to work less without paying dearly for it. (A 20 % pay cut should be the absolute maximum cost for a 20 % shorter work week, but as it stands today it's not. In practise, people who'd get about the same amount of actual work done in less time should have no pay cut. These are the problems we need to fix.)
