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

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.

A good leader can prioritises importance of tasks.

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.
