Someone made an interesting post on this sub and I can’t find it, or maybe I’m using too vague of search keywords. Basically it’s an article which shows a study that found something like (using small figures for simplicity) instead of paying someone $10/HR and giving them a 40 hour work week, pay them $13.30/HR and give them a 30 hour work week instead. You get the same pay check but you’ll be less exerted thus bringing more energy and work ethic to the job. Basically the typical 8 hour shift will be cut down to 6 hours. Happy employee, better results for the company.
TLDR: There’s an article that showed a study of how working less hours with higher pay yields better results for the company and keeps employees happy.
