Or, it's a very clever way to double your employment numbers for almost no extra wage cost. You hire double the staff, each of which works half the time. Voila! the company gets a 48-hour work week at full staffing, and if workers want to double their salary, they can get a second job (now easily found due to demand) and work no more than they do now.
How do you say win-win in Finn?

You double your employee numbers, do you also double your “benefits”cost, for the same or less productivity? If so, not a very wise deal.

Win-win in English is translated into win-win in Finnish, using Google translate. Fart is pieru. Just trying to help.

Your birth rate will go up. Crime and drinking will also go up. That's pretty much what people do when not at work, screw, drink and get in trouble.

I don't what the benefits packages are in Finland. They might not need or have health insurance or retirement, for example. That's why I limited my appraisal to wages.

May not end well, but it'll sure end early.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

I like 4 10’s for shift work. 4 8’s for the same money would be great!

I'd do a lot more hunting and fishing if I didn't have to work so goddam much. Working fuggin sucks. Always has, always will. A four day work week would be damned nice.

Everyone wants shorter work hours...but the government insists on full day Kindergarten classes indoctrination.

They need to screw more, no European country is keeping up with replacement rates but the muzzie immigrants are more than happy to replace the natives by spitting out 15 kids each. As for drinking more, that’s pretty much impossible, they’re Finns.

Best shift I ever had was working 2 1/2 16s for the THD while in college.
Off at noon Wednesday with a full week's pay.
