Psychology says people who push their chair in when they leave aren’t performing for an audience, and the fact that they do it when no one is watching is precisely what makes it meaningful

Last week I watched a bloke in a near-empty café stand up, sling his bag over one shoulder, and then, before he walked out, quietly slide his chair back under the table. Nobody clocked it.

When British firms trialled a four-day week for the same pay, the real surprise was not output but the people: burnout fell for 71 percent of staff, and nearly nine in ten companies kept the shorter week long after the trial ended

In Britain’s biggest four-day-week trial, 71 percent of employees said they felt less burnt out by the end. That figure, not anything about profit or output, is the one that stands out. Whether the shorter week would hurt productivity had a fairly predictable answer. What it would do to people did not. We are writers ... Read more Read more
