Capitalism: Microsoft proved that 4 day week is efficient

    Microsoft’s “Work Life Choice Challenge,” held this August, made the firm close its doors on Fridays and give its 2,300 employees three-day weekends for the full month to assess the merits of a reduced workweek.

    Over that period, the firm saw productivity, as measured by sales per employee, rise 39.9% compared with August 2018. That boon was thanks in part, Microsoft said, to meetings capped at 30 minutes and an increase in remote conferences. Meanwhile, the firm saw a fall in costs, with 23.1% less electricity used and 58.7% fewer pages printed over the period.

    Despite results Microsoft has no plans to go this way.

    Issue is with free time, as having such people start to think too much.
