so employees were asked to do equal work in less time and they were more likely to feel like they had enough time to get their work done? i agree it certainly sounds non-sensical. it's also hard not to assume that if there were relatively simple ways to increase efficiency that much, companies wouldn't already have implemented them to get that much more work out of their employees in five days. i'd love to see a similar data-point at a u.s. tech company.

do you have psychological evidence that clearly supports that the added stress of doing the same amount of work in less time* but gaining more free time is healthier overall for the average worker than the current 5-day system?

*or just less days? i'm still not entirely clear on whether this is advocating 4, 8-hour days or 4, 10-hour days
