German company: The 5-Hour Workday Gets Put to the Test (wsj.com)

I‘m torn about believing this article since they claim the company is in Bielefeld, which may or may not exist https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bielefeld_Conspiracy.

If Bielefeld is just a myth, is the 5-Hour work day also a myth?

PS: I’ve been living in Germany for many years and I have yet to meet someone from Bielefeld or someone who knows someone from there.

PS2: I fully agree with the article. If I could achieve 5 hours of full focused productive work every day, it would be awesome. Unfortunately, in my company and many other German ones, productivity is measured by the time your ass is in contact with the office chair


I have met a few people that alleged being from Bielefeld, but they were clearly untrustworthy because they strongly supported the dubious claim that it existed.


This is a really funny joke
