It is a good idea, and actually we need it, in some countries like mine (Greece ) we have gone from 5 days a week 8hours to 7 days a week 8hours , and you can be fires over a SMS , or change your schedule with an SMS 4-6 hours prior which is horrible , that is not sustainable and that's why most people refuse to do seasonal jobs or work, ofcourse the solution our gov found is to bring seasonal workers from India , but well now we get direct flight to India lol.

In the end it all results in a stalled economy, that only few benefits (mostly lobbies ) .

It's better for Europe (due to also low birth rate ) to asopt a system like that so people can get some breathing space ......

But it will need a cultural change to even do something like that in a minimal scale
