  1. I wonder if this would ever affect public schools somehow. Hmmmm.

    I won’t be around long enough to find out though (or be affected by it).

    I can’t really see how working longer hours on less days makes much of a difference. I guess we’ll see if people find it makes life more manageable. It’d just mean I’d need that third day off to rest from my longer hours at work. Why can’t people just work their regular hours for four days a week and have three actual days off?

  3. Oh sick, so this’ll make accessing public services even more unreasonably difficult because civil servants already have the most ridiculous job benefits that are good for them but terrible for actual citizens trying to get anything done. Just what we need /s

    Lol obviously no one in this thread has ever worked 4 10’s before. It’s not for everyone but the majority of people who try it loathe going back to 5 8’s.

  5. Your don’t get credit for four day work weeks when the employees still have to work 40+ hours.
