"Why is it accepted that you have to work five days a week, 9 to 5 or longer, if you’ve got the essential work done in three days, or in the mornings?". I loved this whole paragraph. Shows how strong we are conditioned to maintain the status quo. The problem is there's always more work, more 'busy work' to fill your time. The cardinal sin is to say you're "not busy".
God forbid if organisations trusted employees with their own time and created an environment where people want to do good work.
PS. What did you make of the new Man United owners telling all their staff to do 5 days in the office, or have voluntary redundancy? I get the impression it's an easy way to 'show' something is changing - first thing to blame for organisational-wide failures is Alan in Finance working 3 days at home.
