Another school district just shifted to a 4-day week and parents are making themselves heard

🏖 Fridays are magic. We live for them.
So… what if you had two every week?

We ditched the 5-day grind for a 4-day work week. Productivity didn’t drop—if anything, it went up.
In this post, I share how we made the switch, what changed, and why your company should try it too.

Totally.

Weirdly, today, Japan, Europe, the Scottish government and other capitalists are embracing a #4dayworkweek (not just 5 days of work compressed into 4) because it's gooder for productivity and other capitalist exploitation metrics.

A weird coincidence, but I'll take it!

oh hell yea :akko_fistup: :ablobwobble: :annoyingdog: :amen:

A recent study on the #4DayWorkweek has unsurprisingly found:

Reduce work hours + maintain pay = improve happiness + boost mental and physical health

While the well-being aspect is unsurprising, I do not see any claim regarding overall productivity. Certainly I would expect a boost in the long-term productivity. Too bad it apparently wasn't studied though.

🤖🎩 "AI will save us all!" say the prophets of tech, proposing a 4-day week like they just invented sliced bread. Meanwhile, CEOs pat themselves on the back for gifts of free Fridays, ignoring the 24/7 Slack pings. But hey, at least the robots are doing *something* useful. 🙄

Iceland approved the 4-day workweek in 2019: nearly 6 years later, all the predictions made have come true.

Here's an article on the 4 day work week and UBI which, whilst quite cynical, still shows some important points:

"Already, it’s estimated that, in the first year of ChatGPT, 14 per cent of Americans lost their jobs to robots."

"... because AI will reduce employment.
But if true, it’s hard to see how four days will be any more of a safeguard than five. That’s where UBI comes in..."

What do you think?

Long work week… so thankful for a short weekend so we can start this vicious cycle all over again 🥴 #WindowFriday #FensterFreitag #4dayworkweek

A classic example of why I at least prefer the 4 day work week. Saturday was a fun recreational day, LAN party and DnD afterwards. Sunday was a refresh/recharge day sleeping in and going for a walk and doing very little. Monday was helping one client for 1hr then getting a new car battery and sending in PC monitor for repair - those tasks you want to do on the weekend, but my Sat and Sun was already taken up. #4dayworkweek

Let's just ensure that if the 4-day week becomes standard, everybody gets a 20% raise so that their weekly pay stays the same. And also the minimum wage needs to increase by 20% for the same reason.

What? Wait, it's Friday? Why did no one tell me? #4dayworkweek #bringontheweekend
