In the 90s my girlfriend worked for the American office of a Danish industrial design company that closed at noon on Fridays. They claimed it was how everyone in Denmark worked, but I had no way to confirm it at the time.
- bombolo 4y agoIt isn't.
- nivenkos 4y agoSome companies do this in Spain too, especially in the summer. Likewise in Sweden, but it's a minority of companies I'd say.
- pm3003 4y agoI worked in various places in Northern Germany a few years ago, close to the Danish border. Some businesses and most federal and state-related institutions would stop working at noon on Fridays. I was told it was to alleviate the pressure on the trains and Autobahn. This would make sense, especially given the fact that a very important military population was stationed there during the cold war and the railways and roads were a mess (and probably still are). I don't know if it's true, nobody concerned would ever come to the stupid idea of questioning this nice practice.
