I'm willing to work 4x 7 hour days. If you think about the last 30 years of computer enhancing productivity, we're owed a lot!
I work like a truck, so 4x4 would be appropriate.
I work like a piece of wood, so 2x4 is all I'm asking
And they're really like 1.6x3.5
I work like a Dolly, 9 days a week 5 hours a day.
She would be so proud of you 🥹
Thank you, it was a long time since I shared this insightful graph. https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/
Does nobody think about the managers?

4x6 with 1 hour for lunch. 2 hour lunch break if I have to go to the office.
Why not 3x 7 hour days if the productivity gains are that great‽
yeah other places like the netherlands already did 4 day weeks before AI. we can go further.
A human has something like 4-6 hours of good work in them per day and the balance should be on life rather than work so 3 days of max 6h could be a start.
Everything would work as is and better and we can adjust to less allocation
