Long weekend every week? | April 1, 2026

Hello reader,

After talking about it for a while, the government is finally going forward with its work-from-home (WFH) Fridays policy, which is to be adopted by civil servants starting this week across Indonesia.

While that’s all well and good for energy-saving purposes, there is some concern about their productivity. When some of us don’t trust civil servants to make the most of a five-day work week, who’s to say they won’t take this opportunity to give themselves long weekends every week? Let’s hope this leads to a “less is more” situation instead.

Cheers,

Andra
