What would a 3 hour work day be like? (midwest.social)

It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

Everyone cant have all the same days off, there is already divide between service and shift workers and everyone else, a longer weekend would make it worse. The time off has to be spread around and Holidays do need to exist to make exceptions so everyone can hangout at the same time.

Agreed, but crossing over on Wed would work out for changes.

It kinda sucks that there's a prime number of days in a week.

Good thing a week is arbitrary. Maybe we can change this!!
