The 4-day work week is inevitable, but the transition period will be messy. The real friction point is going to be the 'compression' of meetings. You can't just cut hours without cutting the corporate bloat. If companies want this to work, they have to abolish the 'meeting about a meeting' culture. Success depends entirely on measuring output rather than hours sat in a chair. Managers who don't know how to measure actual results are the ones who are terrified of this change.

The 40-hour work week is a relic of the industrial revolution that makes zero sense in the digital age. Study after study proves that productivity actually increases when people are well-rested and have time for life administration. We are currently pretending to work for 8 hours but only doing 3 hours of real focus. Let’s stop the charade. A 32-hour work week for the same pay isn't 'entitlement'—it is the natural evolution of efficiency. We work to live, we don't live to work.
