Summary
Chapter 8 begins a two-chapter discussion of how we accomplish a workplace reimagined. But first, this chapter explores the body of literature discussing other reforms in order to explain why my proposals are different. I then turn to the first part of my reform proposal—tackling time off. This proposal advocates for two weeks of job-protected paid absences for all employees and for any reason.
