> both your worldviews regarding work coincide neatly, and do so specifically in favor of only one person in the equation I disagree with this. I believe I have a mutual agreement that benefits myself and my employer. If I felt like I could complete my job in 30 hours a week instead of 40, I could have a conversation with my employer and negotiation for a shorter work week. If that didn't work, I could find a part time or flex job. > a hypothetical worker of the future could very well look at us now rejecting the 4 day workweek the same way we look at our predecessors justifying child labor and black lung I agree that people will look back and think it absurd that we stuck to a 40 hour work week for so long. Progress should be making our lives easier and demanding less of us but that's not what's happing for most. The way we make this better, in my opinion, is by being honest about it. If someone fakes it with a mouse jiggler to make it seem like they're working 40 hours when they're not, they're actually helping keep the 40 hour work week alive. But still, we're talking about people lucky enough to have a fakable job, not people doing real work. None of this applies to the person working the drive thru that can barely make rent on a 40 hour work week and would be underwater if reduced to 30.
