Couldn't you work 6 hours "for the man", and then work on a project of your own choosing, for whatever reason you wanted? (a side project, the next unicorn, some spare cash, something OSS, something for charity, or just because)

It's exactly what I do, but I suspect that the spirit of this 6 hour initiative isn't necessarily in line with what you're alluding to but rather the idea that working less hours is better for all of us. Correct me if I'm wrong about this.

I think perhaps you're reading too much into what was a non-sarcastic comment? I genuinely mean I haven't come across a widespread (or existent) official 6-hour working day in Scandinavia.

In Norway at least, it's true that lots of people finish work relatively early - but only because they start work really early (6-7am)!

Gah, sorry, I replied to the wrong comment, and can't delete it now!

[IGotThroughIt]

Gotcha!

I had searched for the sarcasm in previous comments in our thread to no avail!
