Not bad at all...although to be honest, between the coffee breaks, browsing of the internet, etc., I doubt most people work a solid eight hour day anyway.

I think that's the point they are making. Instead of being away from home for 9-10 hrs a day and wasting half of it in meetings or water coolers they are cutting it shorter and hope to get the same results. People will have more time to go out to the malls and prop the economy?
Interesting stuff, hope it works out for them.
