me. i slack off 6-7 hours a day and use copilot to do the tasks in the remaining 1-2 hours. (at least i think that's the ai and not my untreated adhd...)
in a few years, some genius will do a four day workweek experiment, people like me will forget to only work 4-8 hours instead of 5-10 per week because the amount of tasks is the same, they will conclude that there's no reduction in productivity, a benefit of four day workweek will work as an incentive instead of a raise to keep people around a bit longer, and it will start becoming a standard. and voila, we got the working hours reduction officially.
i've already heard buzz that negotiating a four-day work week doesn't tend to involve a 20% salary cut (probably because people are already slacking off a lot). i'll have to research that more though, because at some point i'd do it even if it did result in a 20% cut, and time is so much more valuable tbh.
Experiments have already been done (Microsoft Japan is one example), they all resulted in productivity and worker happiness gains AFAIK.
God I need a job like yours. Lucky bastard.
Wait, doing your workday in 1-2hr is ADHD?
Not ADHD, AGILE. The 1-2 hours between ceremonies is all you have left.

In general thats an exaggeration but depending on the job, tasks and especially how much your coworkers understand your task.
