If they don't have any ideas then they should work on collaborating with others until they do.

Works best I think if the days cycle through the week too so your employees can't make permanent obligations during the weekdays. If you're so concerned that they'll start working for another company or start a grassroots political movement, just make it so that they can't reliably have empty spots in their schedule. Maybe two days, one cycles forward the other back. So like, Monday and Friday one week, then Tuesday and Thursday, then Wednesday and friday, then Monday and thursday, then Tuesday and wednesday, then Friday and Wednesday, then Monday and thursday, etc etc. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┘ --- #2 fediverse/2457 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── if your job won't let you strike for a week, they don't want you. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────┘ --- #3 messages/527 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────── could give us some experience organizing small, short-term projects to accomplish specific goals and tasks in an ad-hoc way that relied less upon procedure and more on "I think so-and-so knows something about that, they were looking into those files and posted a breakdown of how they work yesterday" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────┘ --- #4 messages/431 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── Rent is expensive because they only want you living there if you're working. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┘ --- #5 fediverse/5841 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────── I find maybe one or two days a week to work on my projects.
