I was working with Spain, print companies, devs I dont want to remmember them too slow. Local staff in Spain like shops, bars other staff funny to fuck with chiks but.. Spanish people worked for a few hours per day. I mean productive 2 hours all other hours/per day waste of time empty talks and fiestas. All this thing is a big migration that has started and climate change. New comers will show up there - work 4h per day just come leave your homeplace, sit, do nothing ,dont reproduce your life is not important. And others will move to take migrants homelands upper where is more greener. In 10 years to live is Spain will be hot, now its hot. So 4 days per week it's a test drive how the world will look in the future wasteland for a slots and fruit, vegetables workers - food supply chain.

Previous write-ups of this proposal were more clear it is not quite the work/life balance adjustment we want.

They're trying to get four and a bit days of value for four days pay. Society probably needs three days of work value spread over four days for four days pay. I know .. sounds unlikely but the thing about pay is, not paying well means people can't afford to buy stuff: it's not helping driving down pay.

What we need, is for employers to both put more people into work, and to expect a rational amount of work outcome per day.
