Let's ditch the 5-day workweek and the 8-hour workday, says a professor writing a book on how to fix work
One of the biggest themes that's come up in Bruno's research is time — what it means to workers, and how work controls and defines it for them. Many workers are forced to manage their time so that they're available to work certain hours, while fitting in sleep and personal lives around that. In essence, work schedules control their time.
"We say the time that's most important is with our kids, right? Who would deny that if you got kids? Or the people we love, or pursuing learning and culture — all that stuff, we say, well, that's the most important time," he said."And people say that in surveys all the time — but the reality is the time that's really determinant is a time we're paid for."
