I love to see this. One challenge that concerns me is that many people really need to be paid for all 5 days. The shorter week by itself isn't enough.
Their weekly pay stays the same, just a 32 hour week instead of 40.
You’ll have a lot more happy and productive workers if they all were given a livable wage and healthy work/life balance.
Scientific management and all the bullshit it has spawned needs to die.
Which also begs the question, if we were paid on par with inflation, would we still need to work 40 hours as most people do?
That's actually the issue. Productivity increase didn't go to the employees the past couple of decades, otherwise we'd have outpaced inflation
That’s what this is. Same pay as five day week.
