It's perfectly fine to ask the same question to a new audience. There might be different answers. Not everyone saw it the first time.
My answer to op, assuming they're not being facetious:
- We need time to recharge and let our brains work asynchronously on problems.
- We need more coordination and integration points with colleagues. If we're steamrolling ahead, there's little chance to coordinate.
- Quality of work begins to suffer after a certain point and reaches diminishing returns.
- Expending that much effort at once, repeatedly, likely leads to incredible burnout.
- Personally, the will to do Herculean tasks isn't a renewable resource you can tap into week over week. It happens, but it depletes. There have to be breaks.
I think that over time, the Overton window of what's acceptable will slowly shrink to 4 hours a week. But it'll be the optionality of work, like the 4-hour-work week, rather than a work-to-survive model we currently live in
What would help me at my job is just having the benefits/money to feel appreciative of the job. Instead I feel exploited. The easiest way is 4-10s. Working 8-6 daily and having a 3 day workweek would make me so much happier with my life. I would LOVE to have 3 days with my family, and would likely never leave the job.
