me. i slack off 6-7 hours a day and use copilot to do the tasks in the remaining 1-2 hours. (at least i think that's the ai and not my untreated adhd...)

in a few years, some genius will do a four day workweek experiment, people like me will forget to only work 4-8 hours instead of 5-10 per week because the amount of tasks is the same, they will conclude that there's no reduction in productivity, a benefit of four day workweek will work as an incentive instead of a raise to keep people around a bit longer, and it will start becoming a standard. and voila, we got the working hours reduction officially.

i've already heard buzz that negotiating a four-day work week doesn't tend to involve a 20% salary cut (probably because people are already slacking off a lot). i'll have to research that more though, because at some point i'd do it even if it did result in a 20% cut, and time is so much more valuable tbh.

Experiments have already been done (Microsoft Japan is one example), they all resulted in productivity and worker happiness gains AFAIK.

Wait, doing your workday in 1-2hr is ADHD?

Not ADHD, AGILE. The 1-2 hours between ceremonies is all you have left.

No it's our retrospective meeting to evaluate our learnings from our meeting where we planned our planning meeting.

In general thats an exaggeration but depending on the job, tasks and especially how much your coworkers understand your task.

I am adhd+autism and there are days where I completel 80% in the first hour before everyone else arrives and its nice and quite and i am still caffeinated. Then i struggle the remainer of the day to finnish
