*4 day work week, even lower wages

I've been noting the rise in the push for this from neolibs, generally proponents of Keynesianism.

    There is no productivity. I think it's generally the case that after 4-5 hours, worker productivity takes a complete nosedive. The rest is just bullshit busywork in the way of browsing reddit or being on your phone all day. This isn't restricted to office jobs either. I've done a ton of manual labor jobs, and downtime makes up most of your hours.

      Takes an hour to get going, do work for a couple hours. Long stretchy lunch and bull shit meetings that shouldve been emails. Fire off a couple more hours then piss around until it looks like you can leave without raising eyebrows. Stick to that for a few months and some light automation of tasks you can and you will, no shit, be the most productive employee in an office job.
