After six months, most of the 33 companies and 903 workers trialing the schedule, with no reduction in pay, are unlikely ever to go back to a standard working week, according to the organizers of the global pilot program. None of the 27 participating companies who responded to a survey by 4 Day Week Global said they were leaning towards or planning on returning to their former five-day routine. About 97% of the 495 employees who responded said they wanted to continue with a four-day week.
Juliet Schor, professor of sociology at Boston College and the trial’s lead researcher, said that employees did not report an increase in the intensity of their work. “This suggests that the work reorganization strategy succeeded and performance was not achieved via [speeding up], which is neither sustainable nor desirable,” she said. ‘Win-win’ Jon Leland, chief strategy officer for Kickstarter, a crowdfunding site participating in the trial, described the schedule as a “true win-win.
Global?
Not for BPO's
Hahaha I still can’t get over this headline. “The verdict is in…” lol as if it’s fact now. CNN is the biggest joke in media history.
I was on a 4 day work week 10 hour days that almost always turned into 12 hr days . Then they had me work Fridays to fill in 60 hrs a week and I was 60 yrs old Pushing high pressure gas cylinders around heavy stuff
Deep bull going on here
Millennials!
I will be happy. 8 hours less I need to pay out.
Soon we'll be able to phase out humans entirely.
Woke culture
sounds good. Amen
No its not its bad for business and the economy
Meanwhile, CNN employees work 7 days a week to create fake news.

2-3 day will be much better
'Average revenue rose 38% when compared to the same period last year' Hmmmmmm interesting. I sure hope that's related to the 4 day work week and not a global pandemic and lockdowns that were going on around the same time last year
Oh look it turns out people hate having to work just to live meanwhile the capital owners aren’t working the same shit jobs
You guys are such degens- it's unreal. Honestly, go do that four day week in Finland (or some other inflationary shithole).
For managers maybe. Not the serfs. A big problem is services not open on the weekend when that is the only time people can get off. There also needs to be more accredited, non profit, spare time distance education so those jobs can be created.
I was on a 4-10 work week and it makes a huge difference in attitude. I got switched to a 5-10 schedule and quit 6 months after that. That extra day for rest makes all the difference.
Ah yes, make people lazy as heck. What could possibly go wrong 😂
THATS TERRIFIC MORE TIME TO RALLY TO CURE HERPES herpes
Or just add another day or 2 to the weekend 😆
ns3rd y'all going the same path I hope!
You have never run a 24/7/365 organization have you ?
Sign me up!
CNN should only broadcast 4 days a week.
give it to us.
Many in the Government already know. Theres many upsides and not just to employees.
This only works for office jobs
I worked for a four day week company once and we never worked less than five days a week and 50% of the time we worked 5 1/2 days to get the work done. Not much got done in 2hrs a day.
Instead of canning 20% of its deadwood virtue hires, CNN should just switch to a 4-day week. Problem solved.
Just wait until you see what we can achieve in working only 3 days.
KansasCityFed 🤷♂️
Even better when it’s a 4-day WFH week!
Why work at all? We can just spend other people’s money. Who needs money, everything should be free. I should be able to do what I want without consequences… example of each generation getting smarter. 🤡
Is it 4 ten hour days or 4 rifht hour days? Is it a 32 hour work week or 4 day 40 hour work week?
About time - get this implemented across all companies!
Is this before or after COLA comes down?
Lol someone had to conduct a study to prove this was good?

Who knew not making your workers completely miserable by only having 2 free days of the week would be so positive. Crazy stuff.
This is not a global trial. UK, Ireland, the US, Canada, New Zealand & Australia are developed countries. They can work 4 days because most of the actual work, like manufacturing, is outsourced to developing & underdeveloped countries. Do the trial there & let's see the result.
👍
👏👍
Great now do 3 …everyone loved it!!! …now do 2 😂
If you can do this with no productivity loss, it’s because you’re over staffed. Just fire your bottom 20%.
If CNN is for it, it's evil.
YES!!!!!!! I bet 3 days is even better.
I hear it’s 4 days a week but 10 hour days 😳
4x10 is pretty easy, usually. The extra 24 hours of recovery is a lot more effective than 2 extra free hours over the course of five days. (Meanwhile, I just finished a stint of two months of 5X10...)
Try being even more lazy
Depends on the business and how it is structured.
Maybe CNN should lead the way? Shut down coverage for one day a week.
Are you willing to take a pay cut also?
