A growing number of voices are pushing for the U.S. to embrace a four-day work week, leading critics to question the wisdom of what would be a cultural sea change.
The article is dated back in February. I’m not seeing it pick up steam. I’m seeing it being forgotten.
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 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.

I guess the argument is that you could even have it without changing the amount of hours.
And it’s foxnews :/
I guess 4/32 would be most accurate, but I think a lot of these pushes for four day weeks are not for 10 hour days but 32 hours with fulltime pay
some are calling for 6 hour days whether on 4 or 5 day weeks which is another topic for discussion in perhaps anotger post or here as well
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
