some councils here implemented 4 day working weeks and then were told to stop lol..

"It's paramount that we get appropriate value for taxpayer money, but we're also going to put absolutely zero thought into measuring the value delivered beyond counting the number of hours people are required to work."

Classic top-down micromanagement. Never mind that those councils are capable of evaluating for themselves whether or not a four-day week has impacted their ability to deliver the necessary services, better have people who are too far removed from those activities to evaluate anything make sweeping decisions based on what's most likely to appeal to dinosaurs that will angrily vote against anything that might benefit workers.
