Less work was tested in germany in some small town. Something around 4 days a week and 25 hours. The results were not that great. People were having a lot a psychological issues, and the psychiatrist there got a lot more work to do. (if a German around here can confirm)

Economically speaking working 40h a week is stupid and less productive. But you got to give the sheep something to do or they loose their mind. We're are not used yet to spend our time with what we really want... So we shall work like robots as long as we keep thinking like them.

Were people having more psychological issues or was the reduced work week just giving them more time to address them? (Not familiar with the test).
