If 6-hour workdays can work in Sweden, they should be able to work in the US or anywhere else. For businesses to be competitive with employees working less hours, they need to be able to take advantage of cost savings associated with people working less, such as consolidating office space. If people are getting paid to sit around in offices and use social media, there should be a way to out-compete them by avoiding social media and getting out of the office to make room for someone else to take the next 6-hour shift at your desk.
