Or you just stagger your workforce. Some are off Mondays, some are off Fridays, some can choose a midweek day as their regular day off. It's not super complicated; managers just don't want to put any effort into changing this.
Definitely possible but also harder to manage. You need more redundancy in your workforce. You need good documentation of workflow and roles. You need a system for handing off work between staff and people roll on and off a project.
It's all possible. But it takes effort and some marginal degree of expense that a lot of admins don't want to put forward. Bosses are naturally cheap and lazy. That's why union leadership is necessary to improve the workplace.
Agreed on every point. It's possible. Bosses are bloated in that they're largely ineffective and are more costly to the salary chunk of budget. If they were expected to accomplish things like workers are, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
In reality, we should be implementing 4 8s as full time since study after study has shown that productivity actually increases when executed properly. There is measurable incentive for companies to transition to it.
