From the Paper:

"During the depression in the late 1931, Kellogg was one of the few companies that shortened hours to save jobs and retain their employees. Kellogg believed in the skill set of its employees, morale and employee innovation rate and believed that their employees were their best customers. For over 50 years, Kellogg offered a 30-hour workweek option. When this 30-hour option was introduced in the 1930's employees were paid for 35 hours although they worked only 30 hours. After the depression employees were offered a 30/40-workweek option. This decision was however, eventually reversed. Kellogg went to a normal 40-hour workweek."
