Ep 40 - Four (4) day work week - Microsoft Japan

Four day work week, sounds great at first.  Seems Microsoft
Japan has had a lot of success with it so far.  But there are
a lot of variables at play here from cultural differences between
Japan and the US, what about the impact of increased productive
time during the day at work to impacts on your personal life, say
scheduling doctor visits or helping out with your kids.  See
what Microsoft says about the plan, know as the “Work-Life Choice
Challenge 2019 Summer.” “Microsoft Japan CEO Takuya Hirano noticed
that in addition to being more productive, the workers asked for
fewer days off. Costs declined too. As you could imagine, a high
amount— 92%—of Microsoft Japan's employees said they preferred the
four-day work week.” Could this be implemented for Small and Medium
sized business in the USA?  We’re not sure, but we are
intrigued at the first large scale test of the idea.  Check
