The 8 Hour Workday – Productive or Pointless?

"19% - My work hours are too long"

... What exactly are they suggesting is the fix for that? I see a couple:

1) Work more days per week, but fewer hours per day. - More people will hate that than what currently exists.

2) Work fewer hours per day, and fewer hours per week. - Will mean a pay cut, which most people can't afford.

I really can't see any of those working.

The 8 hour work day is very much a left over from the Ford style of management and productivity experiments, not something that really works for the knowledge workers of today but very much applies to a factory environment. I guess the 8 hour work day is very much entrenched into our culture to just get rid off.

it depends on the individual.

currently I am in a state of having escaped from the 40hr-a-week commute-to-cubicle culture, and loving it. now in a ROWE, mobile-friendly career configuration and hope to continue it for the rest of my life.

Is it just me or is this a really terrible 'article'
