Millennials Are Ready For a Four-Day Week

[Dave22reborn]

You guys do realize that millennials are like forty years old now???

[MikeLowrrrey]

And like usual, the dregs of society want to work for 32hrs, but get laid for 40hrs a week.

Will any of you start your own business and show us how it's done?

Most white collar folks aren't even working 32hrs, that's the funny part. The most I ever worked was 5 hours/day at the beginning of the year. Now it's slowing down and it's more like 2 hours a day.

[Dave22reborn]

You say it's pathetic, but if the technology is there...Why not? We've gotten more and more efficient as the decades have gone by. AI might be something serious.

What's a legitimate reason to be in the office 5 days?

Hey bottom feeder, how'd that strike work out for those Hollywood writers?

If you get paid by the hr, how will you get paid for 40rs of work, if you're only working 32hrs?

Of course these polices won't be applied to garbage men, firefighters, the police, teachers, doctors, nurses, the military, paramedics, etc.

What white collar position works hourly? Most I've seen work salary.



As for the other professions,

-Fire fighters, police, and nurses work shifts and often get 3 to 4 days off.

-Teachers get winter break, spring break, and summer vacations.

-Doctors knew what they were getting into

-Military....Well they chose that path.

Get laid for 40 hours a week?

Dunno, that sounds fun for the first week maybe...

[Horse86]

I always hear this word lazy thrown out. What does lazy mean exactly? If production and profits are up, how does that reflect laziness?

means you lazy cucks are always looking for a reason to not work, to not go into the office, to stay at home and vidya but want to be paid for the full week.....what don't you understand? The only reason production would still be up if you work less is b/c your job isn't needed anyway and they should fire your ass and trim the fat

Nobody is saying to not work though? You're assuming that.


People are just wanting a more work-life balance and technology has made us efficient to do so.

there is no assumption.....the fact is they are looking for excuses to work less and get paid the same or more. Bunch of SJF.

Want W/L balance cool.....come in 3 days a week and get paid for 3 days a week....lets see how you fare paying that rent boyo.

I'm not sure why you're against it. Can you explain why?

If they technology has made so efficient where we can do 10 hours of work in 2, why not make work weeks 4/3?

It’s the concept that our advances in tech should benefit shareholders, not employees. There are valid arguments to be made on both sides of this issue, and it will probably work itself out somewhere in between.

technology has made it efficient that your job isn't needed.....get fired pleb. You've been replaced/not needed.

Want to come in and work 2 hours?...you'll get paid 2 hours....how many ways does this need said?

also 2 hours of work is 2 hours of work....just b/c databases and computers evolved and used instead of punchcards to make it more automated doesn't change the amount of time on the job. Tech simply increases with economies of scale...it's a 1:1 and you SJF are just looking for excuses to not work and get paid.

Lazy kents

Interesting.

How can you "do 10 hours of work" in "2 hours"?

Was time travel invented, or do you have some kind of "time bubble" where you can enter and time freezes for you?

27 year old millennial checking in. Although I’m the youngest of the generation. Fuark we old.

lol this

[r32gojirra]

Lmao that's pathetic. They don't even want 4 10 hours days. But rather less hours.... Probably want the same pay too. I'm a millennial but also came to the conclusion that millennials are retarded long ago.

This is the entire purpose of economic progress

Corporate bootlickers like you said the day thing during the Industrial Revolution when people were sick of working 10 hours a day 6 days a week

At one point we were using morse code, then mailing carriers by horse, then fax machines. Now? Emails. With AI, it may be even faster. When you become efficient your hours condense.


Are people working a job not trying to figure out ways to complete tasks faster??

[Shortfuze]

It's a good idea. If productivity stays the same and technology can make up the one-day gap, then why not? And for those who voluntarily want to work the extra day can get paid overtime.

[crupiea]

Do people really think that this is something new?

Everyone out here assuming people have always wanted to work 5 days a week instead of 4 ?

5 day weeks have never been a thing anyone wanted.

source: just trust me bro

show me evidence of Americans working 60 work weeks as the norm. Also this is the gen that built this entire great nation and made a killing $$ doing it. Even the blue collar mill workers were making bank....enough for 1 salary family and nice home, kids, and transportation. You know.....something called the American Dream. It's lost on you bby.

Now all you cucks do is complain you can't afford anything (cant afford your rent bc you can't afford a mortgage, can't afford your subscriptions, cant afford your UberEats or groceries, can't afford your lease bc you can't afford to buy a car outright....and want to work less) JFL

Do you claim to have improved completing the tasks that your job entails faster, by the same amount that the technological advancement that you've likened it to?

You should be patenting whatever you've done personally, because you could be rich if you marketed it.

As it stands, there is no way you can "do 10 hours of work" in "2 hours", unless you have the aforementioned "time bubble".

The discussants are mere wagecels who have no further comprehension other than whatever their two hands can achieve.

Heck, judging by this thread, they aren't even using the grey matter between their ears.

[Anachron]

5 day weeks have never been a thing anyone wanted.

People are free to choose to work 4 days a week if they wanted to, just like how people are free to choose to work 6 days a week.

And if one doesn't even want to work at all, they can choose not to work!

I don't understand what the whining is all about.

interesting....since it takes less effort to complete your tasks now....we should dock your pay accordingly...since "AI is doing the work for you". See how this works? You're grasping endlessly.

No patent, just using Technology to it's fullest capability. Instead of typing the same list of 60 item list 5 times, I did some research and learned how to use technology to make a simple template that takes 2 seconds to upload. So yes, that cuts the 10 hours of work into 2 hours of work. Doesn't have to be over 2 days, could be over a week, could be over a month. Over time, cutting 10-20-30 minutes of work adds up. Suddenly you have free time and it's smooth sailing the month of May.

People are just wanting a more work-life balance and technology has made us efficient to do so.

Modern nations run on people showing up to work. There are only a small percent of jobs out there that dudes can get away with just fukking off 90% of the time. And 'technology' allows them to do so.

Should only white collar workers be allowed to just show up to work a few hours per day and still get paid a 'full time' salary? What about the ones that are need to work longer hours? Are they more valuable? Should they be paid far more? And the guys who can get their work done in just a few hours have their salaries slashed?


Literally every other job/service requires people showing up to get **** done. Electricians, plumbers, hvac, doctors, truck drivers, people that work in restaurants/service industry, gas stations, grocery stores, etc. The world runs on people showing up to work.


I've been to some small towns where every business is closed on Sundays and almost everything closes by 6:00PM on Saturday. I'm sure its great for the people that work in industries that's normally open at those times. But let me tell you. It sucks ass being in a society where nobody is at work.

As for the other professions,

-Fire fighters, police, and nurses work shifts and often get 3 to 4 days off.

-Teachers get winter break, spring break, and summer vacations.

-Doctors knew what they were getting into

-Military....Well they chose that path.

These professions are working longer hours to compensate. I know people that are teachers and while they get nice holiday breaks off. They are typically working closer to 10-12 hours per day 5 days per week when school is in session. Just because class is out doesn't mean they are chilling. They have to do work at home too.

When it comes to police/FF/Nurses. Yes, they get a lot of days off. But they are also working longer hours. Cops are typically 12 hour shifts. Nurses 12-13. Firefighters work 24 hour shifts. Pretty much every cop, FF or nurse I know works closer to 60H per week then 40. Working longer hours means more days off. Which means they can pick up side hustles/extra shifts for OT.

[MikeLowrrrey]

So by your logic we should go back to using mail carriers because more hours = better?

Bootlickers putting in some serious OT ITT

Hope your corporate overlords appreciate it

Firefighters work 24hrs then they're off for two days.....

I am a police officer and I work four days on, and get two days off. Which is still pretty much forty hrs a week.

Qjit being a lazy bitch, and if you want to implement this fantasy, start your own business and show us how it's done.

Hurr Durr, pay us for 40hrs of work, when we're only working 32hrs. Plus, raise the minimum wage to twenty dollars an hr, possibly higher, also, give us a year off for parental leave, etc......
