As if we had a 4 day work week already. Maybe start with that?
Right now we seem to operate on a 5-day work week except somehow it only amounts to about 12 hours of actual work.
The amount of bullshit jobs that exist is insane. So many people in offices that either don't do anything or barely anything. Then even more who could easily get all work done in half a work day. Then a gigantic amount that could easily do their work in 4 instead of 5 days or 6 instead of 8 hours. I'm typing this at work because of all the downtime I have and I still believe I get more work done then most of my colleagues.
