Episode 4 - The 40-Hour Workweek
Manage episode 271319268 series 2776972
Apologies for the late upload this week. Labor Day weekend preparations got in the way of an on-time edit.
This week Molly and Jim discuss the pros and cons of the traditional 40-hour workweek which has been around since the coal-powered factories of the Industrial Age, as well as the meaning of "productivity" in today's very different world.
We also dig into the way that the the Covid-19 pandemic has radically changed the concepts of commuting, and "punching in" at 9 a.m.
