Unpopular opinion: The 40-hour work week is broken.
Employees should be judged on their productivity and results, not on time spent in the office.
The 40-hour work creates a culture where employees are judged on the amount of time they spend at their desks, instead of the quality of work produced and their impact.
This leads to burnout and diminishing returns as workers put in long hours just for the sake of clocking more face time.
