There's room for lifestyle companies which work a low amount of hours. I'd totally take 20 hour weeks for a 50% pay cut, for example.

I think this is really what the OP wants, but it can be hard to find because the 40 hour work week is so ingrained into work as a baseline (some industries go higher, some lower).

Instead of the inevitable back and forth that this view will generate, we should probably look for ways to support lower hour work weeks through innovative companies or changing company culture.
