Comment on Push For A 4-Day Work Week Picks Up Steam — And Critics

The article is dated back in February.

Regardless, we should really use the correct phrasing here. We’re pushing for a 32 hour workweek standard. Calling it 4 day is stupid because everyone just says four 10hr days.

I always see this, a 4 day week being equated to 4 - 10 and it always leaves me baffled that people think we have to work 40 hours. No we fucking don’t. 40 hour work week was implemented when automation was but a fraction of what it is today. Heck one can even argue that we can half the working hours to 20 and still be fine.

  Yep, agreed 100%. 32hr workweek should just be a first step or transition to 24, then even less. Automation, AI, and everything should benefit all of us not just the billionaires.

  I guess the argument is that you could even have it without changing the amount of hours.

For a 32 hour work week to be viable we would need the pay to match a 40 hour work week at least. I doubt we will get both if one even

  I agree with you 100% on both

I already work 4 10s. Factory work is what it is. Sometimes we get forced for Fridays too. Hell, overtime is the only way to make any real money. I don’t have a point, just sharing my experience.
