No Canadian companies involved in a shortened workweek trial intend to revert back to a five-day week, new research from 4 Day Week Global shows.

Office workers aren't very productive in general. We should focus on greater automation.

I'm an office worker. I work on automation.

Where's that leave me? Who automates the automaters?

Also, from the office work I've seen, and compared against WFH, I'd agree to SOME reduced productivity - like 20% - but which is regained by allowing experienced people clear work time without interruption (which we get in remote work). The other 80% may actually be difficult to automate as trivially as required for any gains here.

And the concordant social safety nets and baseline wealth redistribution that benefit citizens over corporations.
