Young adults are throwing their support behind calls for a four-day workweek.
A new national survey from CNBC/Generation Lab of 1,033 people aged 18 to 34 found that an overwhelming 81% of respondents believe a four-day workweek would boost their company’s productivity, while 19% said productivity would decline.
Those results from the “Youth & Money in the USA” survey come amid discussions around the potential benefits of switching from the standard five-day U.S. workweek to a four-day cadence without a pay cut.
Some companies have begun testing the arrangement, and say it has mitigated employee burnout and strengthened business performance.
I used to work 4/10hr a week. That quickly turned into mandatory 5/10hrs, every single week.
I work 4/10 at my current job and I love it. Given the choice between 5/8s or 4/10s, I'll always take the 4 longer shifts. We do have OT in the summer but its completely optional and nobody cares whether you do OT or not.
But I lucked out, good paying job with good bosses that actually reward people with raises/promotions for doing good, and they're just good people in general. I just got promoted after 6 months and got a raise with it.
