Rumor Four day work week on the horizon?

[ABM]

You have to admit when most all your opinions come from the same source as "Noah's Family Fun Zoo Boat" that tells us all animals are descendants from the two he happened to catch and we, as in all of humanity, are descendants of his and his children the discussion is tough to continue.
You can see why they might be hard to come by right?

Keep an eye on the sources I post. You actually may be suprised.

I can assure you I won't be "Surprised".

It wouldn't work with my job. My job is dependent on me working hours.

They aren't going to up the salary so people will work less, because of the nature of my job.

Is this a case where, say, you have to be on the phone during set hours, and there's no way of getting around those perimeters?

 

[Shaboid]

Me, too. That said, most of my opinions run counter, and deep, to many in here. Subsequently, actual discussions are sometimes hard to come by.

That's pretty laughable, but you do you, man.

Really? Care to expound?

Really? Care to expound?

People have tried to have actual discussions with you, many times. To which you respond flippantly.

Again, you do you, man. I'm not trying to go down that road.

No, I don't respond "flippantly" to actual discussions. Sorry.

From my experience and reading up, it seems like some people consider condescension and ridicule actual discussions.
For example: I started this thread. A poster said this idea would not work for him. I explained my ignorance in not understanding and apologized and asked for more info to better understand why it wouldn't work.
The response was… well it wasn't worthy of being considered a discussion in my opinion…
I will leave it at that.

 

[Shaboid]

Sorry I don't care to discuss scripture with you.

 

[ABM]

Got it.

In the largest-ever experiment of its kind, 33 companies adopted a four-day workweek. The results were conclusive: It's time for everyone to take Fridays off.

 

[THE HCP]

What do you think the percentage of people out there work M-F?
I haven’t since 1998. Just curious.

4 day work week is very popular in my line of work. Lots of companies do it. 4 days, 10 hours a day. Gives you a three day weekend with the 40 hour check. Reduces the amount of time you end up driving/commuting.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

Before I had kids I looked forward to the weekends because I could screw around and do whatever I wanted.

Now I look forward to the work week , because compared to being with the kids nonstop on the weekend, I can screw around and do whatever I want.

Yeah, we have employees who work 4 tens, and some who work 3 twelves.

But I think this is talking about working 4 eights for the same pay as 4 tens.

Yes. You have to go through the link in the story to find it but they are talking about 35-36 hours and the same pay.

"Public sector employees taking part in two large trials between 2015 and 2019 worked 35-36 hours per week, with no reduction in pay. Many participants had previously worked 40 hours a week."

The latest, perhaps most convincing evidence yet for the shift to a four-day workweek comes from a six-month trial which began in February 2022 in which 33 companies with employees in six countries decreased their employees' workload to four days, or 32 hours, a week.

Unfortunately it won't really work for me but i would love being able to get that chance.

Yeah, I'm sure there are some it wouldn't work for. But for the others...

 

[Strenuus]

Last two jobs before this one I was doing 4 day work weeks. That 3rd day off changes EVERYTHING.

Last 6 months out of necessity I've been working at least 6 days a week, sometimes 18 days in a row. Lately I've been able to take consecutive days off. But man, do I miss 4 day work weeks. They absolutely need to become the norm. Productivity will skyrocket.

I like the hustle and bustle of the work week. I hate staying home/working from home too.

An extra day off, I'd just do jack shit all day.

Rather have more vacation days.

You can have mine. Id gladly take one less day of work.

Well, depends how much you make to make it worth my time or not.

It also depends on what you do.

Well not gonna bring up money but if you get excited about working for a Fortune 5 company with high levels of stress where you spend most of your time giving presentations, speaking with clients/partners who all think they should be making more money, all while relying on others to do their jobs well so you can do yours, I’ve got the job for you!

Sounds like Intel.

Should We Move To A 4-Day Work Week?
