You will never be a more effective worker than me if you work 1 less day than I do.

- city41 5y agoMore study is needed here. Burn out is real, and being able to recover is very valuable. I also have no idea who you are, for all we know I work circles around you or vice versa. But even if what you say is true, so? Why are we so obsessed with work? There's a lot more to life.

- city41 5y agoYou're pulling that out of thin air. You have no idea if that is true. Your logic also says a seven day work week is ideal. But obviously we need to rest. Does 2 or 3 days of rest make us more productive? I honestly don't know. And neither do you.
- nxmnxm99 5y agoWhy wouldn't I know that? You don't know how to measure your own productivity? I don't work weekends because I'm not allowed to. If my company allows me to work 5 days and yours allows you to work 4, I will outproduce you. It's pretty simple. This magical optimal rest-to-productivity gradient is dumb. That's why no sane college student is studying 4 days a week. In sheer production I will demolish you while you wishfully think your Friday of grazing about will magically make you 20% more productive than me the other 4 days.
- input_sh 5y agoOh noooo, I will not make the most amount of money I could make for someone else in exchange for a negligible percentage of my salary.
- nxmnxm99 5y agoWhat an odd way to look at it. The other way to look at it is the company hiring me will win while the company hiring you will go bankrupt, therefore losing your job and sulking back to 5-day land.
