“For executives” is an important bit left out of the headline.
At first I thought 6 day work weeks sound demented, but then, upon seeing it was for executives I can’t help but wonder if it will even make a noticeable difference, especially since they are openly doing it as a psychological manipulation to compel executives to take the current ‘crisis’ seriously.
Shit rolls downhill, and executives don’t do much even in the office. There’s going to be some execs ordering their departments to 6 days a week, and peer pressure on the rest.
The C-suite is ironically probably the most easily replaced by AI trend analysis and predicting.
I’m not sure how making people, exec or otherwise, work extra 1 day will improve the company performance, what they gonna do, more meeting?
Punishment instead of progress. Ahh yes, something wise people do all the time!
Did you read the article, or just the headline?
Do you think my opinion would change if I knew it was the executive team? Are you dumb? Why would a bad idea magically become a good idea if it’s applied to rich people?
A bad idea is a bad idea, and the fact I have to say that is fucking pathetic.
C-suite is posturing. They are the type of employee considered salary-exempt. Most likely they already are working 6 or 7 days a week. You don’t get to that level without constantly thinking about or doing work.
Everyone at that level is watching some aspect of the company or dealing with whatever bullshit they need to. They may have assistants to filter what comes through and they may take some days off and be out of the office. But it’s not like at that level the work ever really stops.
