Do people want a four-day working week?
Transcript
00:00People used to say when I was working that I often probably only worked a four day week but that's
00:05I always did the job. If it could be more flexible like if you could have
00:10the workload that you need to do and you just need to finish it and you can you can arrange
00:15your own schedule for me it sounds amazing. I would love it I currently work in the office
00:21five days a week I think four days would be great you have more time to yourself
00:25more time with your family. I'm doing it now as we speak. And how are you finding it? Really
00:34relaxing actually it's good for my mind body spirit works for me. I think it would be a great
00:42thing provided it didn't affect the output of the people doing the job and everybody wins off that
00:49as long as everybody gets the same money at the end of it. A five day week just doesn't give you
00:54enough time to to have your life like we just became like slaves of like the our workplace
01:02and I think that just having a day off midweek when it's not the weekend when it's not super
01:08busy you have your time to kind of like focus on doing errands or doing a hobby or just doing
01:14something that you really like. I think I'll be more productive I think I'll get more worked on
01:18in the four days to be honest. Life isn't always only about work.
