> One important finding, researchers say, is that there is no one-size-fits-all recipe when it comes to the four-day workweek.
Didn't we already know this is the case with a five-day workweek?
Five days is such an arbitrary situation, obtained only through a LOT of effort by a LOT of people to reduce that down from a 'perfectly normal and reasonable' six-day workweek.
We're persistently lumbered by the inertia of pervasive systems we inherited, and the assumption that what we have is what we should have.
Haha, ik wanted 5 days but got only 3, it took me a long time to figure out why i wanted 5, it seemed so self evident. It was every bit as dumb as you make it out to be.
A coworker did eventually get 5 days, after 6 months he said, what have i done, My life is just work now.
I remember working 5, i made more money. It was just as easy to spend as it is now. Nothing changed.
