Billionaires Barry Diller and Steve Cohen added to four-day workweek debate as support for the idea rises and companies that made the move say it's a win.
Apparently worked in England:
NGL - I wouldn't mind having Wednesdays off.
Never working more than 2 days in a row, one day during the week to get stuff done, a proper weekend to relax.
Seems like a win/win.
I've been thinking about working Mon-Thu and Tue-Fri on alternate weeks so that every other weekend would be four days long. I think it would be better for me personally.
I could see that.
Mon-Thur (Fri-Mon)
Tue-Fri (Sat-Sun)So you'd never have WORSE than a normal weekend, but still get one day during the week to, I dunno, go to the DMV or get an oil change or whatever.
thats more or less what one of my coworkers does. the advantage is that after coming off a day off, people are more refreshed, rather than working all the days straight and slowing down as you approach the weekend.
it sucks of course for vacation planning (less flexible) but its definitely better for mental/physical stress

Garbage training, garbage output. Same with underpaid interns
I think each company has to do what’s best for them.
I mainly work in sales and a four day work week wouldn’t interest me. It’d impact my sales.
I work 5-6 days a week 2-3 hours per day.
When you let "each company do what's best for them" we get mining companies hiring pinkerton to murder miners. We get Triangle Shirtwaist. We get Bhopal.
We need the force of law behind things like this, or we get fucked by greed, every single time. You do what's best for you, but corporations need laws.
Good news! Nobody wants to cut your hours. Bernie Sanders' proposal would cut the standard work week down from 40 hours to 32. Since you already work less than 32 hours per week, this change would have no impact on you.
I think the thing is you are already working less than a 4 day week (32 hr .. ) your doing 18 at most so I don't think you really can comment on this one ...
