57 0 ReplyThey tried it in France after the revolution IIRC. Didn't work all that well :)
13 0 ReplyI think it was 10 day week with only one day weekend. So 9 days of work instead of 6. Not sure why people didn't like it.
18 1 ReplyBut they were only 10 hour days, so it evened out.
6 0 Reply10 hours of work or 10 hours total?
6 1 Reply10 looong hours
4 0 ReplyThey weren't that long, just 100 minutes.
3 1 Reply100 longer decimal minutes. One Earth's rotation was divided into 10 decimal hours, so each decimal hour was 2.4 standard hours.
2 0 ReplyYou're telling me they worked 24 hours at a time?!
1 0 Replyhuh? How did you read that?
2 0 ReplyI might have gotten mixed up. My thought process was, they worked 10 hour days, and you said each decimal hour was 2.4 regular hours. So 10×2.4 = 24
1 0 ReplyI don't think anyone said they had 10-hour work days, just 10-hour days.
