Iceland’s economy is outperforming most European peers after the nationwide introduction of a shorter working week with no loss in pay, according to research released Friday.
I always wonder what “no reduction in pay” means. Do they refer to monthly compensation or hourly rates?
Annual gross wages
I’ve also got a four day work week because my job is awesome, and I love it
I’ve got a zero day work week because I don’t have a job.
Yay me.
Bro! Are you looking?
Considering how sick I am, I don’t think that’s advisable.
That’s why I’m not working in the first place.
If posting on Lemmy was a job…
If posting on Lemmy wasn’t the only way for me to have a regular social life…
You should give VRChat a try. Amazing social platform once you find other adults.
Gotta say, as much as i will bitch about my job, my work week is only 4 days as well. Because of the way our schedule is laid out, I have about 1 week straight off each month. If I time my vacations right, that extends to 2 weeks. Next month, I’m spending a week in Canada, but I’ll actually be off for half the month.
Between 2020 and 2022, 51% of workers in the country had accepted the offer of shorter working hours, including a four-day week, two think tanks found, saying the figure is likely to be even higher today.
I feel like a Think Tank should be like a giant Bacta tank, that mentally links everyone inside.
It’s not about productivity, it’s about compliance. The modern corporate world is constructed to preserve power structures, not to be efficient.
Can I become a famous economist who goes on the news circuit if I just take the Laffer curve and change the axes to ‘work hours in a week’ and ‘actual productivity’?
