This is something that will never happen in India because no matter how bad you want 4 day work week theres always someone who will do full 5 days a week and do additional work over the weekend.
- toomuchtodo 3y agoReally sucks that economic systems built on the ability to exploit surplus labor can persist. Lots of work left to be done. A bug to be patched.
- SturgeonsLaw 3y agoThe hard part is convincing the people who see that bug as a feature
- whatwhaaaaat 3y agoSounds like the US should introduce similar legislation to what India did with the on soil stuff.

- bigfudge 3y agoThe comment you’re replying to also has many characteristics of trolling. It’s ignorant of what actually happens inEU countries, as well as the motivation behind the regulations that seem to have become a between noir for a certain libertarian flavour of HN commenters.
- Cheezmeister 3y ago> theres always someone who will do full 5 days a week and do additional work over the weekend Good for them. If the quality bar holds, they deserve to be rewarded. Based on personal anecdata, the quality bar does not hold. Not in India, nor anywhere else. Why employers can't see this on the balance sheet is a different discussion.
- dspillett 3y ago> Why employers can't see this on the balance sheet is a different discussion. Because it isn't on the balance sheet. The job gets done, the overtime is unpaid. They assume that if the hours reduce, the job won't get done, they don't see each hour of less hours being productive because they've but been convinced to try the fewer hours option.
