TALLINN — In a bold move to improve productivity, the Minister of Labor has announced a revolutionary 15-minute workday for all citizens. The announcement came as a shock, but Estonians quickly embraced the change by scheduling elaborate 4-hour lunch breaks.
The Minister stated, “We believe that less is more. By reducing work hours, we aim to foster creativity—and eating.” Citizens of Tallinn responded by flooding cafes with orders of black bread, kohv, and pastries to celebrate their newfound freedom.
“Finally, a chance to sit in a sauna for two hours without feeling guilty about work!”
While officials claim this will boost overall morale, experts warn that the country could face “serious leib shortages” if everyone is dining out simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Missions to increase productivity and keep the economy afloat are planned for the next 30 years, including a proposal that Estonian pants remain unbuttoned for 15 minutes of every hour.
At press time, the government was considering an additional 15 minutes of mandatory group singing to further enhance commune spirit.
