Spain now wants to follow other countries and reduce the working week. Fine, but the trouble is that it’s not going to work in every field of employment. From my experience, having never worked 9-5, things are always going to happen when you least expect it and responding will, more often than not, mean being flexible – working extra hours.
Shorter working week in Spain will not work
I guess we would all like to work fewer hours and earn the same, but it’s not always practical

The only significant measure is productivity. It doesn't matter how many hours one works, it's the results generated during the work period that counts. Productivity needs to be the focus, not a specific number of hours. Because if one does little or nothing during those hours, it doesn't matter whether you work 35 or 120 hours. The result is the same. Incentivise productivity.
