The outside?
Spoken like a true middle manager :) I was one myself until a few years ago, I hated managing staff.
The 5 day work week is a social construct anyway. Life for all would be better if we all had a little more leisure and time to relax, not to mention other benefits like reducing traffic and emissions. When people are well rested there is less mental health problems, road rage, and generally make clearer decisions. Burnout is a huge problem across the workforce, at all levels.
I can only comment to what I’ve read. It’s been trialled in many companies and countries worldwide. The general trials pay employees the same wage, as they almost unanimously find that productivity increases. People fit the same amount of work into four days (maybe working longer hours those days) because they are more refreshed each week. Even better, the productivity increases seem to be maintained over time.
As the old saying goes, work always expands to fill the time available.
It might not work for every business but it’s worth looking at.
Two short weeks in a row feels about right as far as work/life balance is concerned. Dreaming that the four day work week becomes the norm before I retire in about 20yrs
It’s mate, but if I forget their name, it’s ‘old mate’
One of the best parody songs ever.
Thongs in the bidon cage, can’t get more Aussie than that!
I remember getting a flat, and having no shoes. Wasn’t going to walk back in cleats so decided to go barefoot. Bad blisters after less than a km. I can’t imagine what walking 4kms in thongs would do. Hope they’re not too bad today.
Check on your elderly neighbours too folks!
Haha bikes are ‘radical’ now… Honestly Brisbane traffic has become a sh*tshow over the years. A quiter, safer, walkable/rideable Brisbane is the only way forward.
“in appreciation of your kind support”
Australian here, asthmatic wife. Inhaler is $12 Aussie dollars. People with concessions get it for less again I believe.
Americans should be outraged, hundreds of dollars is obscene.
No automated self serve checkouts.
This one came to my mind too. What’s surreal is it comes out of nowhere, and just adds a level of rawness and authenticity to the game you never thought existed. I think it’s brilliant.
I have both, an unassisted road bike and a commuter ebike. Both are a workout and do provide good exercise.
I find I tend to ride at 80-100% on my road bike as I love its speed, but I have trouble slowing down and getting a more balanced, zone 2 workout. The ebike provides that.
Plus, they are so much fun.
Yeah, the crackdown is dumb. I wish BCC would invest a few billion to improve infrastructure ahead of the Olympics. Wishful thinking probably.
Yep. Deleted my account and all previous comment and post history. Haven’t gone back.
Except voting day in Australia is on a weekend, not during the week. And there are also pre polling centres, where if you plan to be away on vacation or working on voting day, you can go along to a pre poll centre and vote weeks in advance. Australia also has mail in and even telephone voting for those unable to visit these centres.
Grain = Beer. This is my interpretation and I’m sticking with it.
