They call it the ‘100-80-100’ concept. This means employees will retain 100% of their salary, work 80% of the time, but contribute 100% of their output still.

      You don’t fight racism with more racism, dude. It’s like fighting flooding by opening the fire hydrants.

      Germany is not the only country trying 4 day work weeks. Other countries trying and normalizing a 4 day work week include Belgium, Iceland, and France.

          Yeah, we must be careful as to not muddle the waters here. Employees want 32 hour weeks while bosses are trying to give them 40 hour weeks, shoehorned into four days, instead, to “improve efficiency.” These two are not the same.

            Which is very dumb, since the human brain can’t be efficient for long periods of time, let alone 10 hours straight.

          I’d honestly still prefer 10 hours a day system over no change at all. Although my view is biased and flawed as i work trades and my hours are very inconsistent. 55-60 hours a week is common and honestly an even 40 hours would feel like a break to me. I’ve cosidered if i could get my employer on board with 10 hours 3-4 days a week in the future after ive bought and paid for a house.
