The argument should be for a 4 hour standard working day. This gives the freedom to flex another 4 hours whenever is most convenient.



This is a good suggestion in many ways, but could be quite inefficient as long as we have the commute culture we have. I.e., you commute for an hour each way and work an 8 hour day? Your commute is 20% of your work day. If you work a 4 hour day, and still commute two hours a day, your commute is 33% of your day. Yikes. So this is a good solution for remote workers, but bad for everyone else.


That's a great compromise solution!
