If you move to remote work, and you actually work, you get rid of the “water cooler conversations”/“building rapport conversations”
Agreed. Based on how management and c-suite decisions have been at two places I’ve worked since the pandemic, I’d bet that a 4 day work week is more likely for more corporate workplaces than a return to mostly or 100% remote. Too many people took advantage of being remote and did stupid stuff that posses off the c-suite. It poisoned the well for the workers who were even more productive being remote who pushed back on the return to the office policies.
Throw in all the misguided junk about managers wanting to control people in person again, lack of innovation in many fields by upper management to really use remote work effectively, and the costs of companies to keep physical offices that nobody was using for a year or more, then a change in the work week makes more sense.
I believe it’ll take accountants showing the saved cost of retaining workers without fewer promotions needed vs having to always compete with the next employer who offers remote work to lure people in at same or lower wages. I like my coworkers, my immediate manager, and my pay increase va my previous employer. When my job abruptly took away remote work that many of us were hired with understanding that that was the new normal going forward, they opened themselves up to having formerly loyal staff actively interviewing anywhere else that offered remote options for even slightly lower pay. It is that big of a money saving and perceived value perk for work.
Been working 4 - Ten Hour shifts for awhile now , that extra day off makes a HUGE difference.
Amen
I worked for a large telecommunications company and it was meetings, meetings, meetings. I hate meetings. I think they are the biggest waste of time on the planet. I finally just told management that I did not want to waste my time in meetings. They humored me. Maybe it meant that I wouldn't be able to climb the corporate ladder, but I was fine with that. There was a lot of work to do and I enjoyed taking piles of work and getting it done. It gave me a feeling of accomplishment. I got accolades for getting work done. I have never regretted staying out of meetings.
We do need more men at home to be fathers since we have a fatherless epidemic
Hey Ken guess what? If more of us worked remote and employers stopped whining and crying about it, the productivity would go up with the immediate reduction in useless interactions around the office AND the time savings on commuting.
Amen
Stop, you’re making too much sense 😂
And less overhead for the company with their utilities and office space.
What about loyalty? That's their main gripe about it. I believe Dave even went as far as saying you're cheating on your company if you do multiple remote jobs.
Not to mention , adding to your point, much less useless Micro management from dynadozan suits that come and go throughout Mini companies across the nation. Who only end up serving to detour, delay, screw up, in basically harass the pon's, Knights ambishop workers of the chessboards of the company.
Innovation is not necessarily “creativity in the face of a lack of resources”.
Innovation can also simply be making existing processes more efficient, regardless of resources.
This video is correct. The issue is if corporate leaders will want to be proactive, or if they will continue doing what they've always done because that's what they know.
It is past time for a generational leadership change in the workplace so we can get some real quality of life reforms enacted.
I have two mottos with the people I work with 1 we live in the real world 2 we get stuff done. A four-day work week would be a nightmare, but we have flexibility and will work as a team to make sure everyone gets their needs met. This creates synergy and loyalty.
This is great.
I work Monday through Thursday 10 hour workday shifts for my first job and my second job is Friday through Sunday 8 to 10 hours with an occasional weekend off. Very flexible. Love it.
With the population being as big as it is one would think a work week decreases would make sense I mean we should be doing one week 4 days one week 3 days creating more jobs n employees
I used to work 4 ten hour days. I definitely had more chunks of wasted time but I was always extremely productive in getting things done. I don’t mind five days because I’m hybrid. But going into an office five days would grind me. But I think the shorter week would work. Let’s be real so much of the normal schedule gets wasted just because you have to be there when you could be more efficient and have higher morale with a shorter week. I think whatever you can employ while getting the job done should be an option if it keeps employees happy and boosts morale. For me the four days worked. Not an option now becsuse Friday is often my meetings day but they’re useful meetings. It doesn’t make meetings great but I can roll with useful meetings it’s the time wasting ones that could’ve been an email that are awful.
Put it to the test, pay by PRODUCTIVITY, I have implemented productivity, and let people earn what they want. In Los Angeles, they ended up working 6 days for the extra money. Sometimes they slacked off, but the contract says its a direct productivity. Theyn they are free to decide.
Thank you Ken! It's great to hear a conservative who is supportive of this idea. It just works for everyone, tbh.
We work 5-10’s and then 5-6h on saturdays…. Every week
3:43 - Yeah, you COULD get in trouble for saying this. Not just with Ramsey, but with your overall philosophy and credibility of whether or not you practice what you preach. 🤔
Let me offer an anecdote, I constantly see manual laborers 'hit the wall' to use a marathon runner's terms, to describe the change in energy, mood and intellect I am describing right around hour fourty-eight or fourty-nine in a work week. So I can jump to a reasonable conclusion that the savings in avoiding injury and costly mistakes, will be worth the neccecary adjustments to make a real four day work week a reality.
@4:34 not sure if it is. Im in the UK and quite a few companies have made their staff go back to working 5 days a week in the office. Not sure that with how intensely people work that they could fit all their work in 4 days.
Not everyone wants to work extra hours four days a week; some maybe forced to due to the amount of work they have.
Id love to do four days a week my worry is that in the end companies will use it to reduce wages.
You are unavoidable. I watch you for a laugh usually.
How does this work for factory work
Employers haven't structured their positions to take up 40 hours of actual work per week. Especially for office jobs. The problem is, with a 32 hour work week, you'll have an even greater divide between white collar workers working 32 hours and blue collar workers still working 40+.
Don't confuse productivity with effort. If you can get the task accomplished in 2 or 3 hours vice 8hrs, then you still got the job done. Do employers want to keep employees at the workplace for 8hrs just because?
Seriously!! You make a great point!! I work a 5 day 9 hours a day office job and most days I'm done by 2 or 3 pm but have to stay there til 5. It's so frustrating! I'd rather be home cooking dinner for my family or working on other goals. Having only 2 days off a week that fly by in a blink feels like I live at my job 😩
My question is: With less than 40hr work week...What about Health Insurance and 401K?🤔
All will all be contract work at some point, you will just have to make sure that both Retiremnt accounts and health insurance are your price of admission non-negotiable compensation!
In the future every worker will be a free agent, mark my words.
My employer considers 32 hours to be full time and eligible for benefits.
The 40 hour work week was implemented because employers were working us as many hours as they felt.
this is a lie. It was reduced from 48 to add an extra day for spending. cant spend money when your in a building working
@@mannyjeanpierre4062 I stand by what I say. Just because you read something else doesn't mean it's a lie. 😳
Not sure how to work it out. But i would say the most productive hours of the day should be spent on the most important things in life. For a lot of people that's loved ones, family. Would it be possibly to restructure the work week around 4/7 days spending our best hours with our highest priorities?
If all my service calls were in the same town/neighborhood I could do it all in 3 or 4 days instead of 5
We work the 9/80 schedule, 4 days 9 hrs, Friday 8hr, then 4 9hr days and off for a 3 day weekend.
So you like that schedule?
i 100% do nothing 1 day a week i miss 4 days a week
This sounds like for corporate/office jobs and not trades.
4day workweek ain't gonna be for us truck driver's I'll tell ya that
It won’t be in every industry some can’t function on 4 day work weeks. My company already so said they’re not doing it because it will “disrupt” our daily shipping
That’s closed-minded thinking on their end then unfortunately. The companies that say this will never work only say that because their business model was built on the 40 hr work week but even that is only because that’s what’s been considered normal for most of the working population since the 40’s.
But truly, what are the odds that one man who worked at a car factory and chose an arbitrary time frame (40 hrs/5 days a week) is the ONLY person in the world qualified enough to pick the ONLY time frame that works in order for a business to succeed *for the rest of all time??*
Thats insane.
Thats like the guy who invented the typewriter saying to the guy who would eventually invent texting “hey, typewriting is the ONLY way a message can be sent. _”Texting”_ will never be a thing that works or catches on so don’t even try it.”
*TIMES CHANGE.*
People and mindsets and methods must change also.
Adapt or die (in this case, slowly, by slavery to an antiquated, imbalanced work/life ratio.)
America had a job crisis right now, the unemployed won’t work and those who want jobs won’t work for minimum wage.
Sure, work 4 days, instead of five, the company will just pay you less since you are working less.
Oh, you want to work remote? Too bad, we need you in the office so we can waste your time so you have to work faster and will need to work five days.
No control over the workers?? What?
40 hours = 40 hours bro lol there’s no “working less” 🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴
This doesnt work in healthcare
...as much work done in 33 hours? Not a snowball's chance in Arizona! Not in food bacthmaking, Sorry buddy, this is an incorrect statement!
A lot of waste in a 40 hour work week. The studies aren't wrong. When your employees are happy, you get better results. Who'd a thunk.
@@Bigbilly-ms9bn apologies, I was not clear.
In my work environment, a twenty-four hour safe quality food facility, momentum is key and does not translate to the sort of productivity that office workers experience. However, you have a point: I have observed a roll-off in my own productivity around the 37th hour in a work week, on my 4th consecutive 12-hour shift.
It could be that in manual labor shift work as a category we will see changes in the number of consecutive work days that might resemble a three or four day work week! I imagine difficulty employers will have to overcome with having to hire and train a deeper bench of batchmakers to be able to pull that off.
I work for the state, i work 5 day week, and i will still do so if it goes to 4, I don't like people much, but I believe of the people pay your wages, you work for it
4 day work week?
Never happen.
What will happen is employers will shift to 6 days a week...not optional...
For salaried only...
Yes, exactly: I rode the burnout bus in a call centre lower management environment such as this. Never again, never mind the open office, in office nannyship hierarchy of death by distraction.
Dont people when people make more money than you. Yeah rich people worked 4days to become rich. They work day and night to get to where they are. No wonder the poor stays poor. Weak mindset ....waaaahhh my mental health 😂😂😂
You’re not conservative and you don’t work very hard.
