Henry Ford implemented a five day work week from a seven day work week. You have no idea what you’re even talking about do you? A four day work week would allow people an entire extra day to spend money on goods and services. The majority of current research is showing that a four day work week increases productivity. What you said does not stand, this has nothing to do with liking your job and clock watching. It has everything to do with capitalistic exploitation of the working class and the stupid mentality that Americans have of working as many days or hours as possible. If workers were asked to work 40 hours in 4 days or 40 hours in 5 days which one do you think they will pick?

You obviously haven’t worked very long in an environment where this was presented. S*** 95% of the people I work with choose an alternate 44/36 schedule cus it allows them to have every other Friday off. Some people still have their 25 year old grandfathered in 4 day 40 hour week, and everyone is extremely jealous of that.

You blaming workers for wanting a shorter work week with the same amount of hours and productivity for a better quality of life is just sad and ignorant.

I always think it’s funny how people believe that working long hours is a status symbol. No you’re not clean cus you worked 60 hours in the week getting paid like dog s***. American work culture is so trash and we really need another giant labor movement. I can’t wait for the day that I only have to work four 10 hour days and be able to spend time with my daughter or actually go see my primary physician on my day off.

Now this is something completely different

We are on course for a societal collapse buts it’s not because of 5 day work weeks

It’s because for years Americans have been contempt with living image obsessed capitalistic driven lifestyles.

It’s always been easier to go along with the flow then stopping the pattern (hence boomers)

It’s been 6 years since Edward Snowden has come out and told us that we’re being spied on and what have we done? Jack s*** because we assume someone else will step up and do something and ultimately nothing ever gets done

Middle and upper class White America especially have thrived off exploiting minorities and basking in their privilege as blacks, Hispanics, Middle Easterns, Asians etc have Lost more and more power with every calendar

Even minority leaders like Obama have had their hand at turning the crank that is the oppression machine. In his time in office he expanded surveillance programs, passed anti whistleblower legislation, deported record number of immigrants and did this all while collecting checks from
Big banks

There are numerous cracks in the US but to blame your job or your work hours is just plain lazy and stupid

Alright man yup I hate my job because I work one extra day out the week

Being able to have one more day off makes my life that much more enjoyable

Makes sense

Americans should’ve been been on the Hong Kong & Chile tip...but we’re too docile.

We even have what a lot of these countries don’t have...access to firearms

As bad as it is in Hong Kong and Chile they’re actually doing something

The American lifestyle is fun but it was designed to distract you

The American dream was turned into an experience as opposed to an opportunity

The world watches as our own government has continued to sell us out for corporate gain
