Yet another article asking for the abolition of the 40 hour week. It's very telling that the article stresses disadvantages of the 9-to-5 model for the enterprise or for getting the work done, but it doesn't list the effect, disadvantageous or not, on employees. And then he slips this: After all, during a big project it’s important your employees don’t feel inclined to exit as soon as the clock strikes 5 p.m. Very telling; and also note that time crunching is most often caused by bad planification than by lack of productivity. As for the points explained, I strongly disagree with the first, the second and especially the fourth (not only it doesn't promote teamwork, since not every one is in the office at a given time: also, it can quickly devolve into a race to the bottom where everyone tries to do the highest amount of hours, which is the real productivity killer via burnout). I find the third point dubious, although it's worth discussing.
