Workers at companies that tested out a 4-day workweek are happier and more efficient — and firms made more money. One lawmaker says it’s ‘here to stay.’::The latest data shows that workers and companies prosper under a four-day workweek. Rep. Mark Takano wants to make it law.
I have a coworker that dreads working from home, since the partner and child would disturb - tried my hardest to not reveal any gender. That said, this person is overworked and loads on their shoulders weights and responsibilities that are not expected of their role. Result: a couple databases seriously compromised - while this person was in holiday, hundreds of km far away from workplace, they released in production code they personally developed or reviewed. Next week is the fourth week people is working their asses overtime to figure out what the fuck happened to code base and database. Could WFH resolve this issue? I dunno, anxious humans are unpredictable; but who knows, maybe this person could use some more time for their hobbies? Look at what they’re doing with all of these responsibilities and expectations? Could WFH help prevent these scenarios? Definitely yes
This seems like a problem not having anything to do with work@home?
Sounds like the coworker is stretched too thin if they’re working while on ‘vacation’.
