#3” Perhaps following the lead of other Scandinavian countries, where a six-hour workday is common.”
Not in Sweden. 40h per week here means fulltime.

I don't know where they got that idea from, both in Denmark and Norway it isn't like that at all in most places. The grass is greener I guess.

#5I'm possibly going to go against the grain here but I'll speak my truth...6 hours honestly feels like too little time and isn't necessarily something to celebrate.
If I only worked for 6 hours and 4 days I'd lose my mind. I've tried it and I didn't like it one bit. May be that's just me but I enjoy my work so much I wish there were 25 hours.

You seriously enjoy your work so much that you don't have anything you would rather be doing? Not even a side project? You must be working on the coolest thing ever.

He also said that in the long run we are all dead so I'm not sure I'd trust him to have the best interests of our 'grandchildren' at heart.

Couldn't you work 6 hours "for the man", and then work on a project of your own choosing, for whatever reason you wanted? (a side project, the next unicorn, some spare cash, something OSS, something for charity, or just because)

I work for myself as a mobile and wed dev so I have my clients who pay my bills and several apps I'm working on in parallel.
