4-дневная рабочая неделя

Question, whether it's 4x8 hours or 4x10 hours. Different work week systems are introduced depending on the nature of work. For example, Kozienice combined heat and power plant implemented a rotational system of 12 hours. Some people commuting from distant locations were happy because they spent less time and fuel on commutes, while others were unhappy because of the 12-hour shifts. An employment contract is an agreement that pays the employee for performing the agreed range of duties. If there is work to be done, it gets done, if not, it doesn't. Research on work efficiency often indicates low values. This is not the employee's fault, but - in my opinion, the poorly organized workplace by the employer. This is particularly evident in state-owned companies and in the government administration itself.

"Interesting how it will work out. 4 days a week, 8 hours a day with the same salary sounds great, considering it's 20% less working time. Younger generations, like Gen Z, often have a different approach to work. They want to maintain a work-life balance. This doesn't mean they don't want to work, they just pay attention to their mental health and good time management. The concept of a shortened work week, for example, 4 days of work, aims to improve productivity and professional life. Of course, this is a topic that needs to be carefully considered, whether such a work model fits the specific situation and industry."

Generally, I really like this idea. I am fully in favor of using free time and benefiting from the development of civilization. Currently, people spend more time on work than people did in the hunter-gatherer times, which doesn't look like progress. I also think that it's very important that it's a private company introducing this, and not the state trying to make citizens happy at someone else's expense. Eventually, this practice must be profitable because what's the point of having a 4-day work week if the company cannot compete with companies from other countries? Each new company that introduces this also gives me hope that this model can work, and the whole society will have the opportunity to benefit from it faster.

It reeks a bit of leftism. This new generation of Gen-Z doesn't know how to work and they're already coming up with excuses... Soon they will have a 4-day workweek and then they will complain why not 3 days. I wonder how this will benefit entrepreneurs, after all, someone has to pay people for staying at home. In the past, people worked for 6 consecutive days and didn't complain.

There are two reasons why a 4-day work week can be implemented. 1. Lack of orders and production restrictions. 2. Feeling that one already has a sufficiently large income. Both generally lead to a loss.

As someone once said, "Difficult times create strong people, strong people create good times, good times create weak people, and weak people create difficult times" and the cycle continues, because good times have been and still are, we'll see for how long...

I personally believe that introducing a 4-day workweek has both its advantages and disadvantages. However, I think it is worth trying and seeing what the effects will be. The advantage of a 4-day workweek is that employees will have more free time. This can positively affect their health and mental well-being, as they will have more time for relaxation and unwinding. Moreover, shortening the workweek can also lead to increased productivity and motivation for employees. They can concentrate and focus more on work during those four days, which can benefit the company. However, there are also some drawbacks to implementing a 4-day workweek. Firstly, it can result in a decrease in employees' wages, as they will be working fewer hours. This can be particularly difficult for individuals who rely on their salary. Additionally, some industries may encounter difficulties in adapting to this model. For example, companies that serve clients in need of support throughout the week may find themselves in a challenging situation. In conclusion, I believe that introducing a 4-day workweek has its advantages, but potential drawbacks and consequences should also be taken into account. It is important to conduct a detailed analysis before making a decision.

In my opinion, good.

In the era of automation and robots, there is less and less work for people - especially simple and repetitive work. In such a situation, a 4-day work system would probably be sufficient, as long as it doesn't affect the employee's salary.

Definitely against. Work (the work of each individual contributing to the work of the entire community) translates into prosperity, development, and wealth of that community. Such a radical reduction in working hours will inevitably lead to a long-term decrease in the quality of life and impoverishment of society. Of course, it can be argued that productivity needs to be increased. It is probably possible, but is it possible to increase productivity by 20% in every profession and on every position? I doubt it. Certainly, bureaucracy should be limited, and that can increase productivity.

For me, either 4 days or one day of 6 hours of work, unfortunately someone once came up with the idea that slaves must work 1/3 of the day for their masters...

A four-day working week can have a positive impact mainly on industries with a larger share of 'non-physical' work. While it is obvious that freezing production for an additional day will lead to losses, it is not so obvious in the case of mental work. There are even theories that suggest tasks will take as much time as is allocated for them. In some industries, a four-day working week may not negatively affect productivity, but rather provide an additional benefit, and any potential downtime can be avoided through 'shift work' - with some staff working from Monday to Thursday and others from Tuesday to Friday.

A 4-day work week is currently being considered only from the perspective of the employee, and it does not bring anything positive for the employer, unless they could hire more people for the same cost to work 5-6 days. This should also be considered in terms of the industry or specific company - if a construction company works 4 days, it will simply take longer to build a house. The second issue is that supposedly the employee will have more time for relaxation and increasing their productivity. However, I don't think that suddenly people will dedicate this additional day to spa, yoga, and walks in the forest. I have not encountered anyone saying on a Friday afternoon, "It's great that I can go to the gym, meditate a bit, and have a Thai massage to be 120% effective on Monday. And I'll also go through a training on how to manage priorities at work." It seems to me that as a society, we are not yet ready for this.
