The Work-Week Chatter

 There was a WELT piece today that talked over this hot topic in Germany....a four-day work-week.  Lot of public chatter over this topic.

WELT talked to an expert from Belgium where this is being tried on a limited basis.  Chief problem?  Stress....to achieve results in a shorten period of time.  

I'm not a big proponent of the concept.  In certain limited cases....where you have 38 hours figured into four days....for special types of people, it probably works.  I think the majority of people (men and women) aren't 'wired' in a way to get the job done in a shorten period.

This idea that the Bundestag might 'mandate' it being normal?  I don't see the emphasis being there. Daycare for kids probably ranks higher with the public. Even the housing crisis ranks higher.  

Even if you approached employers about this....I would imagine fewer than a quarter of them see this as achievable.
