It may just cause some overtime pay. Before the 40 hour work week became standard the work weeks were much longer. Society, business, and innovation didn’t stop or even slow down when 40 hour work weeks became the standard. Same if it went to 32. The work weeks were longer, but did they get 56 hrs pay for 48 hrs work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Ford started it. Reduced hours and double pay. Worked awesome! In early 1914, against a backdrop of widespread unemployment and increasing labor unrest, Ford announced that it would pay its male factory workers a minimum wage of $5 per eight-hour day, upped from a previous rate of $2.34 for nine hours (the policy was adopted for female workers in 1916).

Hard to compare something that was 100 years ago. Working conditions and automation has made jobs much easier. U.S. spends the most money in the world on ways to increase productivity. Doing that usually will make the job less labor intensive and "easier" for the employee. Doubtful that many of todays workers would last 1 day working in the early 1900's. When you think about it a 40 hour week is less than 25% of the hours in a week, how you spend the off time is your choice. A-J made my point, no matter what, most everybody gives less than 100% on the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Company’s labor cost stayed the same but revenue went up. Sounds like a win for companies that like increased revenue at no additional cost…. from the global study Over the trial period, revenue among the participating companies rose 8.14%, and when compared to the same time period last year, revenue jumped 37.55%. And on the employee side, the findings were significant — 67% of employees reported being less burned-out, the extra day without work allowed exercise to increase by about 23 minutes per week, and sleep problems decreased by 8%.

Working is for chumps it seems. 2 hours ago, Voodoo said: So I'm mistaken. There is no system that allows someone to never work a day in their life, pump out kids with no fathers, yet still survive, sometimes with more creature comforts than a person working a hard, demanding occupation. I'd thought I'd read that or observed it somewhere. Guess not. So you were wrong. Retard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never saw her until you posted her stuff. A quick check and it’s easy to see that she does satire across several apps. Probably pulls down $3-4k a month.
