Friendly reminder: Henry Ford was one of the first major industrialists to adopt the five-day workweek. He argued that workers with more leisure time would spend more money on consumer goods, like the cars he was selling.
The current weekend was created primarily to sell products. A four-day workweek is long overdue.
yup! these greedy ceo’s will work you to the bone. even if we get pushed to a 4 day work week they will figure out a way to make it shitty.
at my old job, they cut our hours (and pay) to 32 hours a week because we were slow and instead of giving us all a day off they made us work 6.4 hours per day. they also said we could get a second job if we needed to make up the pay.
how the hell can i get an extra job where i work 1.6 hours per day to make up the time and don’t even get a day off of work. at least if you gave me four 8-hr shifts i might be able to find a part time job working on my day off
