Wouldn't this be the same for school then? If we don't give kids the 4 day work week as well then you're just fucking over a large group of adults that don't get the five day work week and I bet your bottom dollar that you'll have tons of staff leave across the country to get that sweet five day work week. What's more precious than time? You can't win against that.

Heh... Nobody working on Friday has been a joke since I was a kid. Turns out, it's not a joke!

Of course, the reason why nobody works on Friday always seemed to be anticipation of the weekend, so I would imagine going to a 4 day work week, eventually, would lead to the same thing. Except it'll be Thursday. 🤔

Are there studies into whether we'd spend one day doing nothing in a 4 day work week?

Probably Monday, since that day has the highest suicide rate.

This is so out of touch.

If you can afford to spend 20% of your time slacking off, you work a part-time job with full-time hours.

Sorry to break it to you but the one out of touch is you

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, the article is out of touch. You however, not understanding a huge percentage of the jobs that exist, totally with it.
