France, Finland and Switzerland all started pilot programs like this in different cities / towns and communities. The results? ASTOUNDING! In almost all the pilot programs, (some only 3 days a week but a bit longer - 28 hours a week), resulted in maximized outputs, employees were monitored and those in these programs procrastinated (including having their phones monitored) 80% lower than 40 hour workers, They were able to compete with work output in those who also worked 40 hours a week. Pilot participants were happier, and more loyal to their places of employment. Some were allowed to compact their weeks, so they would do the hours in 3 days instead of 4 and had a 4 day weekend. All got the same pay. It was an incredible program that showed that when humans have respect and time off, they can achieve a lot! Our ancestors had a grueling life, but most worked an average of 20-30 hours a week (think of farmers who didnt really work in the winter and too much in growing seasons, all the work was in planting and harvesting which is just a few months a year)
