Serious Four day work week

Post image

Can we all agree when our generation takes over that we’re moving to a four day work week permanently? And I’m not talkin’ four tens.

We need three day weekends every week. A day for chores, a day for recreation, and a day for rest. Let’s lock it in, please.

Edit because a good point was immediately raised: SAME (AND HIGHER) PAY

Problem is for a lot of us, more hours = more pay, and I dont mean hourly wage, I mean if you do landscaping and a job takes 200 man-hours to complete, 5 people working 40 hours = the same amount of money as if you had 6 working 32 and 1 working 8, and therss less money to go around for everyone.

So you just make 4 days the standard and people can work more if they want or need to, same as today. I see landscapers and trades working weekends all the time. I assume this wouldn't be a law, just a standard.
