The 5-Hour Workday Gets Put to the Test

I don't ever want to have a "passion for the work"! Whenever I hear *any* leader say stuff like this I always read between the lines and I hear loudly "do my bidding at any/all times". Real passion is demonstrated by efficiency and productivity. If I can get the same work done in 5 hours as I could previously in 8 hours, on average, because we've managed to remove a bunch of waste, then there has been zero "passion for the work" lost. The passion is the same. We were able to remove obstacles to productivity and efficiency!

Add in remote working and you could be finished by lunch!

I would welcome 5 hour working day but in a lot of cases this couldn't work like in hospitals and nursing homes in these jobs they still work 12+plus .The gòod thing for employers is they would not have to give you any breaks on a 5 hour shift.

Switching from task to task eats up so much time and brain power. It takes a soild 5-10 mins to get back into the zone after someone comes to your desk and distracts you. Throw in social media and every other app beeping at you and you might only get 20 mintues of work done in a hour.

A four 8 hour day work week sounds much better, we’re accustomed to the eight hour Days Already. Who’s idea was 5 days anyway?

Sounds great . But I believe that whatever amount of time at work might not really be the only issue but WHEN ? Maybe consider when People are willing to be working on certain days putting in the amount of time be it 5 or 8 hours that productivity is accomplished balancing work and personal life .

That is not a drawback.
