Science confirms what we all suspected: Four-day weeks rule

[SerendipityJane]

Employees work better and tire less when working a four-day week, according to a six-month trial involving thousands of individuals.

The research, led by Boston College associate professor of sociology Wen Fan and economics professor Juliet Schor, also found that changes to working patterns led to better job satisfaction and fewer sleep problems.

I suspect the ‘getting paid for 5 days’ part had something to do with it

what a waste of resources ‘researching’ that!

Yup. I would be EVEN MORE satisfied with my job if I worked three days a week and was paid five…

You don’t work less hours though do you - it’s compressed hours to have an extra day off??
