That’s really cool! trying it out now. thanks for the recommendation.


Ups, I though if some dup is detected I would be warned before submitting. Will remove it.

Thanks!

Edit: Seems I can not remove it by myself :-(


No worries - the previous entry is not front page, and I missed it. Glad I caught it the second time around.


maybe that title is better ;-)


Nordic countries are so advanced in so many things... Look at Swede, with its 6 hours/day of work.


What? Sweden works 40 hours per week.


They were transitioning to a six-hours workday, as far as I know.

Experiments shown an increment in productivity and happiness.


Well I work and live in Sweden (notice I put work first?) and it's far from 6hrs/day for most industries. Actually now that I think about it I don't know a single person who only works 6 hours per day. The idea is great though, wish it were true :/


Oh, what a shame, I though it was real :-(


It's never as real or good as you think. France's famous 35 hour workweek only really applies to people who clock in hourly wages. Even there, it's merely the number where overtime kicks in.

If you're a professional/salaried you work as much as the job requires, just like the US.


Plus it is super difficult to get said professional/salaried job because they are so afraid of hiring folks.


Yup. I hear about this awesome work-life balance in Europe and then I jump on a call with my Swiss colleagues who are in the office at 6pm working their asses off.


Except if you're not at 35 hour per week you have RTT: basically additional PTO, about 2 weeks (10 days).

This adds up to the legal 5 weeks (25 days), for a total of 7 weeks (35 days). It's pretty common to use half a day here and there, basically reducing your work week.

So it's clearly not "just like the US".


Depends on whether you consider breakfast & fika to be work hours ;)


Wasn't this just a trial that had mixed results? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38843341


Yes, it seems I was misinformed. Sorry


No this was a PR stunt that apparently really worked well.


Thanks for reading it! I am not the author, but the owner of the blog.


Totally... I was afraid for the future before reading this, but now... I am even more afraid.

Well, it is an interview to a doctor, Dr. Jason Fung. Based on its patients results.


I have edited my comment to reflect more accurately that I was talking about Mercola. Apologies for the confusion.


Interesting, I will read those posts. Thanks.
