@npr Yup. This wouldn't work for all businesses of course, but we've squashed it down to just two days a week. We work like maniacs for two 12 hour shifts, and then have 5 days to recover and do our own thing. It's great. Productivity is the same. Profitability is up because of increased efficiency. Workers have far more time off and its contiguous time so they can actually do something other than eat, sleep, and get dressed for work.
@npr Oh, and at the end of five days off, you actually want to come back to work.
