from 8hr work days to 7.5hr work days - seems like they're toying with peoples emotions [i can see the bureaucrats and business folks not wanting change, fearful of "loss" - and i can see workers wanting more time off with no change in pay]

im still waiting for 6 or 7 hrs a day tops, 4 days a week as the max (plus, of course include commute as working hours)

i wonder if working less improves happiness and thus productivity during the hours of work

The end goal should be happiness, and business should be able to extract only so much productivity as the law allows it.
