Instead of four-day work weeks, maybe we should be talking about 10-month work years

Possible for 4 days work week if the working hours extend ..... 

Maybe like 8.00am to 6.30pm or 7.30am to 6.00pm 

Some days already working like that but still 5 days a week

I just wish idiot people know when the definition of urgent or important.. this will drastically reduce the amount of unwanted call/msg! whahahahahahhaha..

To some people esp bosses level, there is no difference between urgent and important de. These people work 24/7 on 365 days. Lol.

Many people would not knock off on time de, sure would stay at least 30 mins to 1 hour after official knock off timing. I also dont know why must like that? Those who can claim OT, usually would even stay back, maybe just to clock OT?!

Please stop arguing and put an end to all this nonsense.

4 day week and 10 months year and 2 hour lunch breaks and absolutely nothing more.

This is how to solve the companies with billions and people with no work issues.

Not to forget top executives from these billion dollar companies complaining about stress and not seeing their kids grow up.

After this I don't want to hear another word of complain from these moaning Minnies.

How come start work so early at 6.30am? You cannot sleep ah? Must be boss level, thats why even sleeping also think of work, so usually would wake up very early one?! Like my boss la, can even send email at wee hours or very early morning, cause heard always insomnia. And even on weekends also keep thinking of work and send email.

That’s not boss.

That’s workaholic.

A good leader can prioritises importance of tasks.

Good leader which can prioritises importance of tasks as well can manage well and lead difficult to find. I have worked for few companies and i see many of those managers, GM and directors, i always wonder why and how they can reached that level? 😅 Some really cmi and yet sitting so high on top.

Success due to work hard? I think more like due to luck. I always find luck is more important than working hard. If you meet the right people, then you would have already more than half succeeded liao. So having to meet right people is all above luck.
