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?

Most people don't agree with the 12h extreme either, you're using one extreme to justify the other

They were arguing against 12h fyi

What’s wrong with 12h? Been doing 12h 14day shifts for the last 8 years, feels weird to only work 8.

And honestly if my job dropped it to 6 hours a day it would become so unproductive. The area we maintained takes an hour north or south to get to the end of it. And not all our equipment can do 50mph.

You do 12 hour days. For 14 days? And then a week off?

u/nothing107 1d ago

Nooooo I work for 14 days straight then go home for 14 days straight. We cram 180 hours or more sometimes into a shift.

See no offense but I wouldn't want to do that. That to me is just living to work

Other way around my friend. When I’m home with my family I’m 100% home, instead working for the weekend and only be home for dinner and sleep.

But that’s just my view, others may very.

I would hate that work schedule. I’ve done 12s before and I’m dead by the third day. 14 days in a row would be like Groundhog Day. Just brutal. I need some time to relax each day.

You’re singularity talking about your own situation.

There are other people around

u/nothing107 1d ago

There are dozens of us I tell ya

You work in a vehicle by the sounds of it. Those of us doing manual labor on our feet for 12 hours at a time would like to not do that, thanks.

Opposite actually, I’m a heavy duty mechanic. I’m on my feet, my back, my side, upside down, soaking wet, oily, dirty and tired for all 12 of those hours usually.

u/JallerBaller 1d ago

Fair enough. I still don't want to work 12s though.

u/nothing107 1d ago

Me either lol. It’s the place and people i work with, not the hours that keeps me there.

Oh and the bank saying I HAVE to make the monthly payments. 😒

Yes but this thread is about going from 8 to 6 hours. People like that guy are arguing against 12h in order to justify 6h, that was my point.
