Good question, but I like to stay mysterious.

Mind control over the first commenters mind!

In that case, I question your management so far, as set goals should be SMART (Google that, it might help in your future career) and so be challenging, but realistic to drive the employees growth. I am managing both blue and white collars and encouraging people to learn and advance is management 101.

Hopefully they'll be thinking of at least something in your country very soon, looking at the current numbers

Yawn

Why is reaching the set goals the bare minimum? Why should somebody who's communication works through emails solely sit at a given place? And can you imagine that there are jobs where working ahead isn't possible? And why are all your comments in this black-white fashion? So many questions you should've asked yourself.

Germany is a federal state out of 16 feds. Just saying. And generally it's saying that it works globally.

Final Assembly Line.
But believe me that I'd somehow prefer your option, even if it was just out of curiosity

What most people don't realise is that nobody wants to introduce said idea to any economy. Sometimes politicians have to throw wild concepts to the media in order to start a discussion in society. This is what currently happens after she formalised this "idea" during some event.
Today, people are seeking for a better goodlife balance. In societies where 50% of employees are working on computers and basically don't have any reason to commute and to show up in an office, there would be huge economical and ecological benefits of more flexible workhour models than the ones we are working under today.
The 9-5 job is very oldfashioned and more invented for an industrial society, which most of us aren't any longer. It is obvious that a nurse can't help more people from Monday to Thursday in order to take Friday off. But if an office worker gets his orders (or whatever) done til deadline,there's no need to be in some office for 8+ hours a day.

People don't get fully broke or homeless when they need a chemo or even an ambulance. That's one of the main ideas when it's working.

Ok, looking at, let's say Europe, there's almost 30 states, all have very different economies but all have universal healthcare. Try again.

Exactly what they said about the 35-hour week.

All?

Oh sweet Summer's child. Check for Horsemeat in Lasagna! That was a bummer.

Welp. You're more than halfway there. All you need is a black spandex and a utility belt. :D

This was all based on a food scandal where Beef was systematically re-labelled just before the expiration date.
This was in 2012, I think. There was a huge controversy and uproar about it, which finally was the reason for deleting the Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz, which by then was the longest German word in existence.
For the deleted paragraph:
Rindfleisch Beef
Etikettierung Labelling
Überwachung Surveillance
Aufgaben Tasks
Übertragung Delegation
Gesetz Law
A law delegating the surveillance tasks on beef product labelling.

Fair point. In the first split second I thought it was my hometown.
