Thousands of UK workers are starting a four-day work week from Monday with no cut to their pay in the largest trial of its kind

The COVID-19 pandemic has already changed how millions of Americans do their jobs. Now it may change how many days a week Americans do their jobs.

"The pandemic [has] made us think a great deal about work and how people organize their lives," she said."We're doing this to improve the lives of our staff and be part of a progressive change in the world." Government-backed trials are set to take place in Spain and Scotland later this year, the 4 Day Week Campaign said in a press release.More people quit their jobs in 2021 than any year on record. Was this a result of the pandemic or a bigger shift in the workplace?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 You believe that? It's 3.7k workers. How many? Just 3.7k.

First I've heard of it and I live and work in the UK.

Finally

That won’t work here, no one wants to work at all with the lib handouts

Whoops being cracked in those workplaces! You live to work these days remember. We are nothing but corporate slaves to a made up system. Humans…

Still forty hours? If not, and no cut in pay, they’re getting a raise. Quite a hefty one too.

Don’t like it. It drains you!

Is this a 4 day 8hrs or 4d/10hrs 🤔🤷‍♂️ because I loved my 4/10 schedule when I had it 🤙🏼

Imaging those workers did terribly.

Widget Company “A” employees work 5 days/wk Widget Company “B” employees work 4 days/wk One year later Widget Company “B” has layoffs due to loss of marketshare to Company “A” Company B employees now have the luxury of not working at all. Success!

Umm, so they just switched to 4 - 10’s? What’s the confusion?

Yes, please.
