Get Rich Slow Club
173. Is it time to get rid of the 9-to-5 work week?
Tash and Ana are joined by author and financial educator Lacey Filipich to break down the philosophy behind the conventional work week.
Thanks solely to Dolly Parton, the 9-to-5 work week receives much more goodwill than it deserves. And sure, it serves all sorts of purported purposes – it maximises productivity, boosts the economy, et cetera, et cetera.
But… is that REALLY still the case? After all, new technologies and increases in productivity have radically altered the labour market. Is the 9-to-5 work week still as vital as when Dolly released her seminal track in 1980? Join us to hear the Get Rich Slow Club’s take!
