That's interesting. A shorter week is the way things are trending, and seems to mostly offset the loss of total productivity with better productivity-per-time. I wonder if this will actually help anything.
Narrator: It didn't.
Greece gonna Greece, I guess.
No it won't. Plenty of studies show decreasing overall productivity when workers work longer weeks.
This is just meant to make workers suffer more.

Actually, it MORE than offsets it, leading to MORE overall productivity from not having exhausted and unhappy workers
Per that study, anyway. I expect it differs quite a bit across industries, for one thing.
They have 10% unemployment.... it won't
Depends what.
Customer-facing work: you can stay open longer.
Office work: yeah, since productivity plummets, I don't think it helps much, if at all.
