Forbes misses the point of the 4-day work week (29)
on Signal vs. Noise (476) permalinkThere’s a piece in Forbes called Why A Four-Day Work Week Doesn’t Work that suggests: But there are serious drawbacks. Packing 40 hours into four days isn’t necessarily an efficient way to work. Many people find that eight hours are tough enough; requiring them to stay for an extra two could cause morale and productivity to decrease. As for saving on the cost of commuting, it likely isn’t true. The article is right: More hours ...Shared by Aadom The Wygle (12) Ben Parr (26) Bojan (3) Carlos Villela (27) Chris (152) Chu Yeow (34) Chuck LeDuc (26) cmm324 (9) Darrin (10) dobata (788) Eoin (50) Galtenbergs (44) Jana (57) Jason (27) John (18) Jon (15) jonezy (53) Josef (17) Karl-Anders (17) Mark Drzycimski (3) MichaelMJ (20) Miguel Cavalcanti (3) Mike F (1609) msimoens (1) Rob (346) Rob (27) SengMing (25) terry (46) Tom (28)Contribute comment

Another reason to hate those granite countertops (1)

That’s what is suggested in a recent article in the New York Times, noting that some types of granite hold harmful levels of uranium and should be removed. Here in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve been told we have a hard level of bedrock that makes exposure to radon unlikely. However, with the threat of radon exposure coming ...Shared by cmm324 (9)Contribute comment
