It’s Friday. The majority of us should have started our weekend already.*
(*some people might prefer Wednesdays off - it takes all sorts.)
It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

When companies switch to a 4-day week, employee resignations drop.
Turnover costs. Retention pays for itself.

Parents with young children experience higher rates of burnout.
A 4-day week gives working parents a chance to find some balance without sacrificing their income, or their career.
If we want a society where parents can function, then it’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Advances in technology have made us exponentially more productive over the last 100 years.
These productivity gains should buy back time, not just stack more tasks.

Imagine having one day dedicated to errands, appointments and admin, so your weekend is actually spent relaxing.
That's the power of a 4-day week. 🪫➡️🔋

Chronic stress destroys creativity and decision-making.
That’s bad for workers 𝘢𝘯𝘥 employers.
Giving workers a shorter working week produces clearer minds and fewer costly errors.

The four-day-week should be the ambition for all working people, unions and anyone with an interest improving lives.
“Productivity” improvements shouldn’t just be billionaires making more money.
“At a time when artificial intelligence and robotics will radically transform our economy, it is imperative that the financial gains from this new technology benefit working families, not just a handful of billionaires and corporate CEOs”

The proliferation of AI would be a lot easier to accept if we could actually see some benefits.
What we’ve got: disappearing entry-level jobs.
What we need: a 4-day week for all.

How about we aim for the kind of AI that gives us all a 4-day week, instead of the one that has a ~10% chance of destroying us all?
Just a thought.

We used to work 6 days a week.
Then technology advanced.
So we worked 5 days a week.
Now, technology has advanced much, much further.
So it’s time to work a 4-day week. ⏰

Rested employees don’t burnout.
Respected employees don’t job-hop.
If you’re an employer planning for long-term success - it’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

It’s an equity issue.
The 4-day week can reduce childcare costs, spread domestic labour, and help caregivers and disabled people manage full-time work more easily.
