  • Currently, employees have the legal right to request flexible working, but there is no obligation on companies to agree. That balance of power is to be shifted, with companies instead legally obliged to offer flexible working from day one except where it is “not reasonably feasible”.

    Seems this isn’t about a 4 day week specifically, but about employers being required to give their reasons when they reject flexible working requests. The telegraph is just using it as an example of something an employee could request.

    I definitely don’t get this comic, but I can give us a starting point on the first statement: “moral situations can be described using Kripke Models”-

    Kripke Models are based on Modal Logic, which is a way of doing formal logic including definitions of “necessarily” and “possibly”. The link between Modal Logic and ethics is Deontic logic, where “necessarily” is taken to mean “obligatory” and “possibly” means “permitted”. Sheaves and Topos theory are pure mathematics stuff and “Globo Matho” doesn’t mean anything as far as I can tell.

    Be sure to let us all know if you find out what this means!
