It’s a fact - parents are struggling more than ever to balance full-time work with their family lives.

So let’s change that.

The bogus four-day workweek that AI supposedly ‘frees up’ Business leaders tout AI as a path to shorter weeks and better balance. But without power, workers are unlikely to share the gains

Agree with the view that the 4-day week on full pay won’t just be handed out by AI. ✅

Majorly disagree with the article’s doomerism. ❌

The 4-day week is there to be won. We see it day in, day out.

It’s time for organised workers and progressive employers to go and win it! ⏰

Grindcore is the new hustle culture In Silicon Valley, long hours have fused with a monastic male wellness aesthetic

Ideology not results.

“There’s no evidence to support this approach to achievement. As opposed to improving outputs, it’s more of a statement."

BBC headline - Can a council do five days' work in four?

“Contact centre staff answered 7% more calls than previously.

In 2021-22, a little over 65% of complaints were resolved on time. In 2024-25, more than 85% were.

The proportion of major planning applications decided on time increased.”

That’ll be a yes, then.
