Every time I have worked as an employee, I have been interrupted more, been in more wasteful meetings, watched most everyone fuck the dog and sell the pups. Literal hours wasted in visiting, chatting, snacking, staring into space.
In my experience, few people are honestly, properly working eight hours a day. They are productive no more than two-thirds of it. Far, far less in offices that are open-concept, have games tables, or go out for lunch; rarely more, usually as a short-lived crunch-time thing.
Which is to say a lot of people already work 80%.
Nonetheless I think it’s time to move to 5d x 6h @ 100% pay or 4d x 6h @ 80% pay. I think 4d x 8h will have almost as much time-wasting as we currently have, and is not worth consideration.
