    I been saying this for years. I'm very much interested in 4 days work week. But, here in America corporate greed wouldn't favor that.

    I've been saying this for years. It's ridiculous that corporate profits and productivity keep going up, yet wages haven't kept up since then 70s. And it's been almost 100 years since we got the 5 day work week. It's time to give the working man something back. Either tie wages to inflation and corporate profits and/or give us all 5 days pay for 4 days of work. And while we're at it, make corporations offer pensions again since the 401k is a joke unless you're middle class and certain politicians keep trying to gut social security, which we already paid into.

    I worked 4 day work weeks (10 hr/day) for 25 years and it's not for the faint hearted. Thing is which days you have off can REALLY matter depending on your lifestyle and family considerations. For me working 4 straight days made me a zombie on my 1st day off each week because I was brain dead & exhausted. But Wed/Sat/Sun off was my golden shift and I absolutely loved it 😍

      But this isn’t that. The idea is to work less hours and make the same amount of money because you’re more productive. Not to cram 40 hours into 4 days.

    Good. This need, along with many other reforms, need to happen to how jobs work in the modern day. A job is there to serve the life of the employee. But if you're working all the time, you don't have a life. We need time to actually enjoy living. Spend time with family and actually relish being alive. As far as customer service goes, hey here's an idea, how about we all stop expecting the impossible from companies and realize there are actual human beings slaving away to satisfy your every whim. Stop expecting instant results and learn to wait.

      No, it’s a 32-hour work week. Due to more rest and higher satisfaction, productivity actually increased, so the employees got more done in 32 hours than they did in 40 hours.
      Happier employees are more loyal and more productive. It’s a win-win

      Yes, 32 hours that’s the whole point. What’s the point in cramming 40 hours into 4 days? That is not improving productivity. The idea is to give more time back to workers so they can have better quality of life. Why wouldn’t you want that?

      BS... working in an office consists of chatting with coworkers and more outdoor lengthy lunches. I myself have been a remote employee for over 10 years and hardly ever step out for lunch and just eat at my desk. When you're in an office you feel more of an obligation to talk with people get to know them go to lunches more happy hours things like that.
