#2Frankly after the pandemic aren’t we all going to learn humans can’t work all day and consume nothing. They need enough free time to actually buy and experience all this stuff we are toiling to create.

#4I am working 75% since about 7 years now. However, I did not chose 4 days, but 6 hours (and 5 days). I like this much more because I can more evenly distribute my workload and I have a more regular schedule, including recovering from work on a daily basis. 6 hours is the maximum I found I can concentrate and be productive. Afterwards, my output always decreased significantly and I was mainly wasting time.

What does the pandemic have to do with it?
Working so much that you can't spend the money was absolutely a thing before the pandemic too.

Opposite for me. Much rather have an extra day where I can do anything I want with no one bugging me. Workdays are basically a wash for me anyways.
