- Ygg2 1y agoBut why not work 8 days a week? 7 regular days and one extra day spread out. 9.5 hours 7 days a week. That way, masses won't ever have time to think!
- atemerev 1y agoThe current balance of engagement / sustainability of 8 hours per day, 5 days a week was reached after decades of trial and error. One might argue that it converged during the industrial age (it was 6 days a week in agricultural age), but it worked fine in a post-industrial economy as well.
- M95D 1y ago> otherwise they would get ideas. No, they won't. They'll just spend more time on their phones watching cat videos.
- atemerev 1y agoTrue, that usually works, but not in the time of economic downturn.
