Every time we have a 3 day weekend I am constantly wondering why all weekends aren’t 3 days? 5 days of work for 2 days off is crazy work 😭 We can’t go on like this

Your point is why leaders promising AI transformation are frauds, liars, or failures. If AI was so innovative for the American future, the vision would start with a four day work week.

you haven't heard of the grind generation yet? 6 days a week 12 + hour days to retire early. 5 days is just table stakes now.

No thanks🫣

Say it louder for the people in the back !!!!

100000%

They’ve already tested the 4-day work week and results prove it lead to greater productivity overall (too lazy to supply link, but look it up).

Secondly. The 5 day / 40-hr week was created by Henry Ford for production workers at the turn of the 20th century. It’s like time change. Everyone keeps doing it just because “it’s just how it is”.

It’s all so outdated, unproductive, stupid and rational people don’t want it.

Absolutely and with AI taking over tasks there’s no better time than now

Exactly!’

Yeah, I mean, clearly the 4 day work week is optimal, but this is America, we work harder not smarter.
