I disagree. 3 day. Im not kidding here. we had a 5 day when one parent was not working. Two adults working 3 days each is a 6 day work week for a family and we used to have 5.

I agree. Tue-Thurs is enough. I can get everything I’m tasked with done within that time and still have time to spare, but yet I have to basically fill the rest of the time with nonsense.

It's time for a 2 day workweek. That'll be actual progress.

I mean there is not evidence it would work but we have evidence a workweek of 5 days split between two people was economically viable. 3 days would be 6 days for a family so it should be able to work as well or better.

The evidence a 2 day workweek would work is the fact that productivity has increased by an order of magnitude since the 2.5 day workweek (averaging between husbands and wives) was created.
