Or maybe there are other relationships at play?
Could it be not because its the 5th day, but because its the 'final stretch' to the weekend and would therefore apply to any final day of any workweek? In my experience, i've seen the same behavior before holiday weekends. Should workweeks be 3 days on this evidence? Should workweeks be dictated by productivity on the final day? Why? Is 50% productivity better than 0? Should the only important consideration about a company be morale? Should morale be directly tied to quarterly earnings? Why or why not?
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoDude, the whole point of this thread is that we literally tested this and reduction to a 4-day from a 5-day was shown to have a negligible impact on productivity! It's like you're arguing from some other reality, what the actual fuck!?
- corbulo 4y agoThere's innumerable market sectors where 4 day work weeks wouldn't work. It's proof of how half baked the idea is that it wasn't even addressed. It makes the broadest generalizations with no hedging.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 4y agoYou can argue flaws with the study all you want, that's valid, but it isn't at all what you were arguing up until now.
- corbulo 4y agoThose are all points that none of the studies on this subject address. Because they're crap studies. The premise is flawed in every one of them.
