These 61 companies moved to a 4-day work week. Here’s what happened to revenue — and employee’s relationship to their job.

Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, an independent who votes with Democrats, says even more businesses need to turn to the four-day workweek.

“With exploding technology and increased worker productivity, it’s time to move toward a four-day work week with no loss of pay. Workers must benefit from technology, not just corporate CEOs,” Sanders tweeted Tuesday. Companies scored the overall experience at 8.3 out of 10, while revenue increased 1.4% on average during the trial. Compared with similar periods in previous years earlier, revenue increased 35% on average.A four-day workweek was once a fringe idea, but it is gaining traction. During the 2022 World Economic Forum, there was a panel discussion about the shorter workweek.

In the U.K. study, a large majority of participating businesses — 92% — said they planned to continue with the four-day workweek, researchers noted. Two of the other five businesses will continue the four-day workweek on a trial basis, while the other three are stopping for now. Early data on the U.K. trial run showed widespread popularity among the businesses trying the shorter week. At the time, almost half of businesses said productivity was the same, while one-third said there was a slight improvement, and 15% saw a more marked improvement.

The question remains: How many more companies will go along with the idea? Late last year, 40% of surveyed companies said they were either starting a four-day week or thinking about using one, according to EY’s Future Workplace Index.

This will also add on to the inflation, like everything else in Bernie’s socialist agenda

A need of an hour with advancement in the technology, specially when the brain cells work 24/7

Bernie Sanders the multi-millionaire socialist

Total bs!

Didn’t France and a good part of Europe do this? What notable ideas and products come out of Europe other than wine ? Germany may be an exception but even their technological advances have been dwindling with the spread of globalism and socialism.
