Reply to comment by berlinparisexpress in The UK’s 4-day workweek trial is hailed, but questions remain by berlinparisexpress

Would you say part of the stress was due to people being used to slack a lot during the week, but now when time to get the same amount of work got cut, it became a bit difficult to work intensely?

Some of that, some of people just stressing about not meeting their objectives or suddenly having a lot of meetings concentrated on fewer days. One of the answers was actually to cut the amount of meetings by 20+% to make up for it.

Many startups have so may meetings it's crazy. My current workplace has a daily meeting and numerous other one's where often times only attendance is expected. But the problem is people loooove talking in circles about some shit without making a decision.
