    I'm all for changing the work week. It's scientifically proven that sleep is an important part of our health. We also have to change employers being able to make employees work OT. All extra work hours should be voluntary.

      Corporate influencers would fight this too hard. Its difficult enough getting workers health care, fair wages, and vacation time. They prefer slaves they can wip and analysis of how to manage proper wiping of slaves.

    I used to work a company where everybody was on 80% contracts (=4 workdays per week). I was still making a living wage obviously, and the flexibility to spend my weekly day off to run errands, do chores, book doctor's appointments, do some home improvement, or even go to job interviews for other companies without having to request a day off gave each one of us such freedom! But of course, not everyone was allowed to take off Fridays or Mondays every single week, so we had a rotating schedule, otherwise there would've no one left to man the ship on those two weekdays. :)

      And yes, I am indeed European. I yes, I do realize that living in the US is a lot like living in Latin America in terms of politics and workers' conditions and work-life balance and housing conditions and health-related matters such as nutritional value of food.

    Well, of course it's 'made up.' Did you think we were born this way? It's also 5/7ths of one's week, not 40 hours. People should get 4-10s or 3-12s, they're much better.

    • @SoftOceanBreeze
      @SoftOceanBreeze 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I strongly disagree with 4 10s cause it takes away too much time, 4 8s or 3 10s is more reasonable, working for 12 hours straight is detrimental to your health and your productivity, ik because iv done 3 12s before at a warehouse throwing boxes on a conveyor or driving a forklift, it was better than 5 8s or 4 10s but still not very optimal, before I got on 3 12s I worked part time on weekends there doing 2 10s, I always felt, mannnn if I could do 3 10s it would be the most optimal work life balance, unfortunately we live in a sub-optimal world

      It depends on your personal circumstances as to which days to work and which days to not work. For some people having a long weekend is better, however other people would prefer to other days off. Personally I don't mind but would love to have a 4 day work week working less hours for the same pay.

      Both sound like heaven compared to 5... But I'd say having every Wednesday and weekend would be best to keep energy levels high and stop the bipolar thinking and Sunday blues. Because you'll only ever have to work two days in a row as suppose to 4

    What if "we" didn't do anything, and "allowed" individuals to negotiate freely amongst themselves. We can call it Voluntary Exchange, or Free Enterprise, or The Free Market; something like that. Yes, it's radical, I know. Maybe still too far ahead of its time. I dunno. Any takers?

    • @samanthahardy9903
      @samanthahardy9903 ปีที่แล้ว

      God worked 6 days and on the 7th day he rested to admire all that he created. According to the Bible anyway. That's why a lot of Christians don't work on Sundays and those of the Jewish faith don't work on Saturdays. It's supposed to be a day of reflection and reserved for attending church or a synagogue. However, the way I see it is this. As God isn't that busy on that 1 day of the week then maybe he is more likely to listen on his rest day. (Although I'm sure he listens regardless of whatever day of the week it is.)😂

      @@samanthahardy9903 I think I was a victim of spell check. Yes Saturday is supposed to be a day of rest. Sunday was made up by the Catholic Church because it suited Romans better. I’m not a Seven Day Adventists; that’s just history. But the point I was trying to make is that God made the work week, and any time we drift away from that, things get harder.
