The reduction of work to 4 days was adopted by Iceland, moving from 40 hours to 35 hours, without any cuts in wages.
The advantages pointed out are less stress for workers and a balance between family and professional life. In other countries the idea has already been tried out, but there the companies negotiated with the respective unions a reduction in workers' wages.

INteresting. I didn't know that iceland was adopting it.
I've been trying to gather enough data of my own work to show my boss that I can be more productive than everyone else working less hours. Not sure what will come out of it, but I'm still gonna do it anyway

Do you think he will let you experiment with it? Is he the type that is open to these things? I guess it will all depend upon the #data.

I think he will. He is very data-driven so if I can provide solid numbers to back up my claim he might let me #experiment.

AN example of countries starting to play with the work week. There will be more of this going forward.
Are we on the path to a 35 hour workweek?

Its probably going to go lower as automation takes over.
