Four-day week 'an overwhelming success' in Iceland

quote [ In Iceland, the trials run by Reykjavík City Council and the national government eventually included more than 2,500 workers, which amounts to about 1% of Iceland's working population. ]

I'm already seeing the propaganda pushback on this. My phone pushed me two different "articles" from Business Insider and Wall Street Journal, the headlines of which were something along the lines of "People Need to Stop Asking for a 4-Day Workweek" and "What People Pushing for a 4-Day Workweek are Really After." They're scared.

It's unstoppable though. I fully predict that there will be quite a few companies and even a few governments endorsing four-day working weeks by approximately ten years after my retirement age.

Ha, just got another one specifically warning not to take the Iceland test seriously. "The success of Iceland's 'four-day week' trial has been greatly overstated." Scared indeed.
