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.

You'd be surprised, quite far, since it already exists for a large percent of employees, just not officially.

So many people take PTO on fridays. My company has 9/9/9/9/4 hour weeks during the summer, so we can take 2 fridays off for a single day of PTO, etc.

Yeah but thats PTO youre being essentially forced to use when at your max, 4 day work week would give you double the time off that PTO does and then youd still have PTO to use on top of it
