My corporate job is one of the better ones in terms of pointless BS and people pretending to be their corporatesonas, but every time I take time off I'm reminded that we're wasting our entire lives with work. I take a few 4-day work weeks and suddenly my house is clean again, I'm cooking more interesting meals, writing code for fun, hanging out with friends, catching up on shows, etc. Imagine how much progress, art, and innovation we could have if everyone's natural talents and interests were given space to exist. Long-term we would have so much more of everything, and everyone would be happier and healthier. Unfortunately, short-term we've gotta layoff 4% of our workforce again because Mr. AI said it might make the line go up.

    I noticed this too when I took a job working four day work weeks for about six months. Unfortunately the job and pay sucked but it was amazing having Fridays free to meet with (side) business partners, finish up some chores then have the entire weekend free.

    I have a follow-up question to the 4 day a week desire.. would you be ok with having 4/5 of your original pay for a 4 day a week work schedule?
