Utah already tried that in 2008, based on a study done at BYU for that matter.

Only lasted a few years before getting the kabosh in 2011. You’d have to find a way to make it enticing both for companies and for the consumers before implementing. Here in Utah there were some issues the first go-around.

Do you think America will adopt a 4 day work week? There has been talk of it and studies have shown it’s beneficial

Studies also show that 32 hour/week is more productive than 40. Hopefully soon.

I wasn’t very clear but yes 32 hour work weeks is what I was referring too

I would still do 4x10s if available and need 40.

Major companies need to adopt it and it will spread around. I think tech will be the first to adopt

I'd rather work 10-4 5 days per week.

Most people are only productive about 30 hrs a week anyway

Best thing I ever did was shorten my work day.

Will their salaries go down 20%? Or will prices of what they produce go up?

I would love to pay 20% less, bonus 20% less, for the same productivity

If people goof off 20% of the time they are at work, what makes some think

Europe has been doing that for years and they aren't productivity juggernauts.

It’s pretty crazy how much better myself and coworkers work now that we switched

3 day work week is better

40 hour work week is long. Basically leaves almost no time for anything
