A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

I'll be happy to do a 4-day week, but don't you dare take away my fucking around and not doing anything at work time!

You think corporations in the US won't put a twist on it? I can see them making it a 4 10s week. They just hate people and want them to suffer as much as possible.

Pardon, I think that's pronounced "Increase value for shareholders." >.>

Yeah, I don't see 4 days work weeks to continually be "no fuck around time" I see it as maybe improved performance for a few months but eventually people go back to "Fuck around" or "coffee runs" or everything that is counted.
