The days of using "chan" and "kun" in the Japanese business world may be ending. Research shows that most company managers are now referring to their staff w/ the honorific "-san." Some companies even mandate it. The goal: reduce workplace harassment. https://unseen-japan.com/santsuke-japanese-business-honorifics/ #japan #unseenjapan #ujwebsite #work #japanese #busines

If you're wondering what the impact of a four day working week might be on productivity (the critics claim it will have no, or a negative impact), Iceland's ongoing experiment suggests, that consultation on, and then the reorganisation of, the working week into four days has led to a major uplift in productivity. Even allowing for the fact that Iceland's economy is not a direct parallel to the UK, this report should encourage us to shift to a four day work week! #work

@ChrisMayLA6
We need a definition of ‘productivity’. In an economic sense it could just means capital reinvestment in the material means of production or production processes, not much to do with workers per se. What is the definition of ‘productive’ in this instance?

@ChrisMayLA6 I've done the 4 day work week in 1 place I worked. It's nice having a long weekend EVERY weekend. 👍 😀

@ChrisMayLA6 This is a completely nonsense discussion.
What should be done, is to not enforce _any_ limits on the work week. Companies who want 5 days a week, do it, the ones who want 7 days a week, do it, and the ones who want 4 or 3 days a week do it.
Then we'll let the market decide which amount of working days per week is the optimal one.
My bet is that it will differ from business to business and market to market.

@ChrisMayLA6 I've long championed an inverted week. Work weekends (paid double time) and get 5 days off. OK those will probably be 12 hr days, but knowing you've only got 2 days to get done, the productivity will go through the roof. Strangely I've never had anyone say it's a bad idea. But then again I never asked a board member
