Bettriges law of headlines strikes again.<p>However its worth pointing out that the 40h work week was considered hugely radical and was “cutting the nose” off of the Ford motor company business when it was introduced.<p>The other auto-makers followed shortly after and eventually it became a standard for nearly every working person on a salary. That was less than a hundred years ago, and as mentioned it was extremely radical at the time losing up to 50% of weekly working time for Ford (60hrs was average at the time)- yet we seem unable to stomach 20% reduction despite massively improved productivity and a much more “bursty” working environment than was conventional in manufacturing.
