i like how the narrative is "people don't want to work" not "700,000 people died and a shitload of people got laid off, and then some people got tired of doing 3 jobs in 1 with 10x the abuse"
this is going ~off, so to answer a few FAQs:
-we do a 32-hour workweek
-no, we didn't dock people's pay
-re: "we couldn't do this at my job, we need coverage," your employer could hire more people, but they're currently getting away with paying themselves more and overworking you
the main thing you notice in a four-day workweek is how many pointless meetings and redundant tasks you used to have. it’s not even that you’re suddenly insanely productive, you’re just not filling an arbitrary amount of time
it’s been about four months since we started our four-day workweek experiment and i can honestly say that the idea of a five-day workweek now seems insane looking back, both because three days are necessary for a proper weekend and no job truly needs all five days
BIG NEWS: I’ve just introduced legislation in Congress calling for a four-day work week. It’s well past time that Americans have more time to live their lives, and not just work. Retweet if you agree, we need to make this a reality.
we may have whiffed it pretty hard on the pandemic when it was very clear what to do, but now that there are a bunch of nuances and caveats I think we’re gonna crush it
