People realise that their dead time at work is now removed due to the day off so they need to start working smarter. They are more energised, happier, get to do things in their extra day that would otherwise be preying on their minds until the weekend etc.
It also forces you to consider anything that stops you getting your work done quickly enough and have more reason to get rid of it.
Not sure how it works with a Fish and Chip shop but I suspect that even service organisations that need 24/7 cover could make up the shortfall by increased happiness and motivation.
For those of us who have a lot of work to do, I couldn't possibly do it in less days (although I guess I would have to drop stuff) but I guess at worst, I might get less interuptions from staff.
- whywhywhywhy 4y agoThis all relies on self driven people, people who see work as the antagonist in their lives will eventually just settle in to delivering the less than before. Same as how some people are just as productive WFH and some don’t seem to work at all from home without constant questioning and pushing. Right company and right team it could work but just a few not on the same page and you’re going to have a lopsided team where resentment will fester from both sides. >forces you to consider anything that stops you getting your work done quickly enough Significant percentage of the workforce just doesn’t think this way and never will.
- snapcaster 4y agoIs this comment an attempt to virtue signal? You realize that 99% of people don't view work in this way right? The standard view is "do as little as possible to avoid getting fired"
