Enjoy your long weekend? Think it should become a regular thing? You're not alone in feeling it's time to do away with the five-day work week.
We hear all the time about how advanced technology is, and how much quicker things can be done. Yet here we are, slugging away eight hours a day, five days a week as if it’s the stone ages.
Employees should get the same pay they do currently if we magically moved to a permanent four-day work week. With people now able to enjoy three-day weekends all the time, it will only have a positive effect on the economy. People will have more free time and inevitably, buy more things. Employees would also be more productive because they would have less time to waste during the week.
Imagine if every weekend was a long one. You could run your errands and get your housework done on a Friday and then still have two days to yourself. How great is that? How much safer would our streets be if people had the time and energy to join neighbourhood associations and advocate for their community? Life would be better for many.
