It really depends on your occupation, I suppose.

When I worked in the game industry we had monthly deadlines that had to get met or the publisher would pull their funding and the developer would go belly up. Sometimes we could meet those deadlines comfortably. Sometimes things would go wrong and we'd have to sleep at our desks or be out of a job because the company wouldn't be there in the morning if we didn't get the work done.

Other occupations, like firefighting, have the opposite problem--lots of downtime with sudden intense bursts of activity.

But I suppose any job that is a typical 9-5 gig could benefit from examining what the companies in this video have done.

How cute. If I sat behind a desk all day I could dream about that too but I live in the real world. You know, where you have to move your ass to make shit.

I worked at a company that had every other Friday off. It was pretty obvious we weren't less productive on those weeks. We just scheduled tighter.

I take pride in my work ethic and my productivity is always at the top of my team. Still, if you set me a deadline I meet the deadline. It's not that I procrastinate until then, it's just natural to prioritize work that way. However it works, you get as much work done in 32 hours. I've witnessed it.

I think the little gem in here they mention briefly is that this is really one of the only ways to battle the big guys (Google/Facebook/Netflix/etc., at least in my locale). It's well known that top talent will go there for a big payday (the little guys are basically paying for training and filtering out the low performers), however I have seen many times employees stick at a lower salary job that is far more flexible with their time.

I sit at a desk all day, and I produce work that's seen or used by millions of people, so I take issue with that statement!

Dude, I'm not dissing deskjobs here. It's just that for the vast majority of jobs, a 32 hour week can't work unless you have more employees. Yeah, in his company that works and it's brilliant but as soon as you get into jobs that require actual physical labor (let's say construction work) or physical presence (for example sales clerks or cops) it doesn't. It's a huge upside of his company, it's just unrealistic for 80% of every other job.
I can have as many sandwiches as I like at my job. All the fucking time. I can eat Creme Brûlée till I puke my guts out. Cops get to beat up people and pornstars get to have earth-shattering orgasms. Every job has an upside.
This dude acts as if he just found out something amazing. Or as if he just made a commercial for his company.

Awe, I need to be more careful with my posts. I really didn't mean to come at you; I meant that as a joking rebuttal.

I don't understand how you can say that with confidence. I would love to have that much insight into every single job...

I can have that much confidence because I don't talk about every single job, I talk about the vast majority. Big difference.
