I think we could all eventually go to 3 day work weeks, where you work 3 10-hour days

“Separating responsibility from authority is a cardinal sin of (mis)management.”

One of the first things I learned in the world of work is that people who speak of delegating RESPONSIBILITY are fools. You can only delegate AUTHORITY, the responsibility is created by assumption of authority. Unfortunately I have had to try to work with people who are incapable of understanding this.
