Wouldn't this be the same for school then? If we don't give kids the 4 day work week as well then you're just fucking over a large group of adults that don't get the five day work week and I bet your bottom dollar that you'll have tons of staff leave across the country to get that sweet five day work week. What's more precious than time? You can't win against that.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Heh... Nobody working on Friday has been a joke since I was a kid. Turns out, it's not a joke!
Of course, the reason why nobody works on Friday always seemed to be anticipation of the weekend, so I would imagine going to a 4 day work week, eventually, would lead to the same thing. Except it'll be Thursday. π€

Greetings from work! Obviously 4-day weeks would be perfect
Who cares? If you wanna do nothing on your day off itβs none of the rest of societies fucking business. Why are we so cucked by this system man?
Hey look a boot kicker defending a garbage system. Good work!
How am I defending the system? My comment was pretty much βthis system sucksβ
Are there studies into whether we'd spend one day doing nothing in a 4 day work week?
Friday?
Probably Monday, since that day has the highest suicide rate.
This is so out of touch.
If you can afford to spend 20% of your time slacking off, you work a part-time job with full-time hours.
Sorry to break it to you but the one out of touch is you
Yeah, the article is out of touch. You however, not understanding a huge percentage of the jobs that exist, totally with it.
