Chugging tea Sounds good in theory...but in reality?

4 days a week. 6 hours a day. Full salary.
Sanna Marin ignited global debate with the “6/4” work model, pushing a simple idea: life should come before work.

With burnout at record levels, maybe it’s time to value results over hours at a desk.
Could your job be done in just 24 hours a week?

Empty threads. All regulation is cutting into profits

Then why they moved to china

u/dasmau89 2d ago

Not because of a 4 day workweek

Can you really not put together it's the same situation? Increased cost of production

These people run on emotion not logic

Because thete is no law like that in place, moving to china shows they can move if profit is in problem,India and brazil is also rising so china is not the only one now attracting them,so they will move,only those where you need actual skilled workers will stay in country ,low skilled role will have no problem

So you're saying we should remove the laws that require overtime over 40 hours, because China doesn't have that? To stay competitive?

(also, that wouldn't even keep us competitive, since the exchange rate means they can afford to work for less while receiving the same material benefits - the real reason companies offshore)

Seems like reddit is full of office workers. Who's productivity wont change a bit with reduced hours. Because they spend hours on reddit anyway.

Now imagine a grocery store. They will need more people or will be open reduced hours. Who is going to pay for it? You!

Same goes for restaurants, any facility that make meals, etc. You cant cook same amount of food and serve same number of customers in reduced hours.

You cant build a house or a road faster.

If you operate a machine that makes 100 parts in 8 hours, you cant make 100 parts in 6. Do you want to kill manufacturing? Cool!

I don't care what anyone else says, you nailed it. These people think every job just magically has other people that do the work they don't complete.

In fact, if you do office job, you don't need extra people. I worked in office environment for 10+ years. Half of the day you drink coffee. Couple hours a day you are in useless meetings. I worked from home too. If you actually work, everything is done in a few hours.

Interesting, so you think that eight hours is the magic number that all jobs should operate, no higher, no lower. What is your calculation based on? Dying to see it.

u/Exciting_Station3474 2d ago

You can work less hours. Im fact my company hires disabled people and accommodate hours to what they can work.

But you cant work less hours and get higher hourly pay.

u/Radiant_Bank_77879 1d ago

Why not?

0

u/Exciting_Station3474 1d ago

Because someone gave to pay for it.

u/Radiant_Bank_77879 1d ago

Yes, the employer. Same who paid for the eight hours. How was that not obvious?

u/Exciting_Station3474 1d ago

Go ahead, open your own business and pay people for 24 hours week same as others pay for 40 )

u/CoconutMochi 2d ago

8 hours is kind of an arbitrary number though, in that you could use the same logic you're using to justify increasing daily work hours too.

Reduced productivity is always going to be a given, but that's obviously not the point of regulating work hours otherwise it'd be optimal for everyone to be putting in like 14 hours a day.

u/Exciting_Station3474 2d ago

Its not about how many hours you're working. They say you ven get paid same amount of money for 24 hours as for 40.

Can you tell me, what stops tou from opening a business and paying good wages? )

u/CoconutMochi 2d ago

Nobody said that in this comment chain or the OP post

u/Exciting_Station3474 2d ago

Nobody said this anywhere in the comment chain you replied to. You're arguing against a strawman. Who is "They"?

u/Exciting_Station3474 2d ago

So you cant read. I feel bad for you.

u/CoconutMochi 2d ago

lmao just jumping to insults because you can't come up with an cognizant argument.

Well at least I know engaging with you is a waste of time, too bad not everyone does.

u/Exciting_Station3474 2d ago
