What would a 3 hour work day be like? (midwest.social)

It often feels like there are only 3 productive hours in typical American white collar work day.

What if we just cut out the rest?

Edit: Some great responses. So responses must have also been said about the 5 day and 40 hour work weeks.

I would struggle get anything done. 3 hours is just not enough time. Sometimes it feels like 8 isn't even enough.

5 would be decent i think. If you can't get through a "part" of a task, however you define that in your field, that should either be broken up more there are other issues

Sounds like a management issue tbh

Oh yeah it 100% is. I don't mind though because I like being busy and of I don't get all the work done no one faults me. Me days feel like they are 5mins long it's great. I arrive at work get stuck in and then look at the clock and fuck its 5pm time to go home.
