"There are multiple different models that are termed a four-day week," she points out."For example, some organizations have condensed hours, so the number of working hours isn't actually reduced. They're condensed into fewer days with extended hours during those days." That's a model that could increase stress and burnout, rather than reduce it.
"The work week for one of those employees is very different to the other employee in terms of their productivity," she says."Knowledge work at, say, an advertising agency where your employer has you around five days a week, nine to five, because they're going to have meetings and they're paying you to be in that space so that they can use you, doesn't necessarily mean that you're being productive while you're in that space.
She also notes that, paradoxically, while a four-day work week does free up time for workers, it's also a constraint, one that might not work for a lot of people. "Workers have different preferences; different ways of working," she says."Some people like to have prescribed hours; very set hours. They know exactly what they're doing when they're doing it, and they find that productive. Other people like to be able to work when they feel they're most productive. and that might not be in core working hours."Her caution was reflected in a small and very random poll conducted by NPR on the streets of London recently.
But where's the inhumanity in that? Where's the hardcore assholery? Alpha male CEOs like me know that workers are just grist for the mill.
DefundNPR
'And while the data on the study hasn't been released yet, the anecdotal feedback from these firms appears to be positive' How very NPR of you... 🙄 This article is useless.
American companies will hate this and not try it, they rather fire people to make more money lol
How about this? 1 day a week for same pay? I can't think of anyone that would vote against that. It's part of Tyranny (Democracy). Can't we just vote for no work, and have rich people pay for everything? Keep pushing and some day we'll all die because no one wants to work.
Elon”🤡”Musk doesn‘t like it💁♂️😎💪.
Wonderful
Back in early 90s, the hotel I worked in had a couple of employees working 4 ten hour days/3 days off. They loved it. I’m sure it made them happier and more productive at work.
I have a 4 day/10 hour a day job and I love it. It does kinda help that there's some downtime that comes with the job simply because it's how the job works. But I love having Fridays free to do important stuff.
It’s not sustainable. Demand would never be met.
