Many workers already only work 32 hours a week and fill a chair while bullshitting the rest of the time. Many people do that because they would burn out otherwise. Cut the hours by 25% and it's more reasonable to expect people to actually work. Right now even supervisors don't crack down on that behavior because it's just generally accepted that you can't push people that hard or productivity starts to fall. Imo 30 hours/week is the sweet spot for productivity and cutting down wasted dead time.
Most supervisors don't push that button because they don't want anyone to question how much work they do. Because it's the same as the rest of us. Or less.
The hardass bosses who do demand more typing and more hours simply don't possess self-awareness.
And that would be under the government is propping up companies that are that ineffient.
Don't know where you get that idea from. If you cut out the hours where employees sit around wasting time, you get the same productivity for less hours worked. There's no difference besides time saved. Government has nothing to do with it, as revenue is not affected.
The government creates a hedge of regulation protection for large businesses. Also the government directly gives money via contracts, between 20-25% of the GDP is government spending, and that is just on the federal level.
