Yes, but the article is about 6-hour days, not mix-and-match-hour days.
It will be interesting to see what differs from 8-hour days, both in free time, shopping, traffic, and more.
Imagine that the 6-hour day is successful, and we can make shifts. Some people go to work from 8 - 2, others from 12-6. That could lighten some traffic jams I venture.
- espennilsen 12y agoNot only traffic jams. Everything will be open until 6, and if you get off at 2 you no longer need to take time off to visit dentist/tax office/bank/etc.
- blencdr 12y agoI'm not sure that a small businesses can afford to make shifts (or 4 days week) if the company must be reachable by a client.
- jacquesm 12y agoIt won't make any difference from the employers perspective other than that they'll have to do a better job of sharing the knowledge required to do the work across more employees. This is a good thing anyway. The number of fte's remains the same. The number of people fulfilling those fte's goes up but payroll will remain roughly unaffected.
- ajuc 12y ago> The number of people fulfilling those fte's goes up but payroll will remain roughly unaffected. That's only assuming there are no constant(independent of how long he work) costs to employ someone. In many countries it's not true.
