More Companies Shifting To Four Day Workweeks



As American workers’ burnout and stress are at an all-time high, employers invent new ways to recruit, hire, and keep qualified workers. Growing ranks of businesses are now offering a flexible, four-day workweek. The movement is also gaining traction overseas as countries and major companies like Microsoft and Unilever test shorter workweeks.» Subscribe to NBC News: http://nbcnews.to/SubscribeToNBC

  1. Lol @ the comments being 90% retail workers

  2. And if employers get clever, every time a worker goes under a minimum full time hours, they don't have to provide benefits, like medical coverage.

  3. robots are coming guys

  4. Personally I'd prefer 4- 10hr day instead of 5 8 hour days. Quality of life would be better. Instead my job wants us to work 6 days 10-12 hrs if work demands it.

  5. But the cost to consumers…. So, i dunno.. We're paying for it.

  6. I'm older and retired and my entire working life has been replete with forced overtime, 12 hours a day 6 days a week.
    I've got a friend, well sort of a friend because of work, whose been working for a company that's had him working 6-12's and an 8 on Sunday for nearly 2 straight years.
    Sure, they pay well but when are you going to spend it. It's basically slavery, he has no life outside of work. Oh, did I mention he's also on the night shift.

  7. https://youtu.be/VQ_Wqtnlv4U
    The lower class is a cruel one and they beg for mercy.

  8. If you get paid by the hour, then a 32 hour workweek will shave off 20% of your pay.

  9. Her voice is the most annoying voice ever. Wow.

  10. Hey NBC… WHO is the “BIG GUY??!!”

  11. If only the USPS could figure out how to implement this. People are getting over worked especially your mail carriers. They’re forced into 12hr days for 6 days a week.

  12. So if we choose to work five still, will we then be able to afford to live and finally afford inflation?

  13. I have been talking to my sister about this. Four days is a good amount of time. On Friday working in IT no changes to the network in a Friday. No reason to be in the office for no reason.

  14. Now: Man this is awesome I can do so much more
    Later: Dang is it Thursday yet?

  15. This only makes sense if it reduces total hours worked. 4 10s doesn't improve the situation. Doing anything for 10 hours a day is ridiculous.

  16. Longer hours shorter days less or same money on check think about that…..

  17. Suna bakin … Az kaldi kacacagiz

  18. the 4 day working week
    is the ultimate
    means to boost productivity and reduce stress
    and increase family income.

    4 day working and studying week
    is optimal for our physiology.

  19. Mrs Sonia is legit and her method works like magic I keep on earning every single week with her new strategy

  20. The war in Ukraine 🇺🇦 is meant to open your eyes to the reality in the financial system. Real estate firm and other businesses are also closed too,, only crypto holders and crypto investors are spending money with ease..

  21. Omfg laziness at the pinnacle

  22. People really have no understanding what will be the result of this. As long as we dont yet see the wage inflation – which is without a doubt going to come in this environment – workers efficiency is going to go down big time. And the result? A big recession with increasing unemployment.

  23. All I can say is THANK GOD. The burn out you feel in the 5 day work week means you spend the ENTIRE weekend just recovering.

  24. I bet this great news for office workers. Day care, truckers, grocery store clerks.. not so much.

  25. In Illinois, I worked at Edwardsville SIUniversity’s Head Start program. I don’t know if the system they had in place is still going on. Teachers worked with children M-Th with a break, and on Friday, no children. It was a teacher’s workday. It was the best place I ever worked, and the pay was good. I left because I moved out of state.

  26. Even if you have to work 12 hours per day for 4 days per week it makes a big difference. The 4 day work week is just one of many things that can be done to improve life, now onto healthcare, the criminal justice system, cost of living and a few other issues, GOOD START though!!

  27. We do we go fully socialist so I can stop working?

  28. 4 day work week, who benefits? the employer benefits because you then are considered part time, and not entitled to benefits. Same pay but 8 hrs less going into employee pockets. and then inflation comes into play. The employee would benefit if wages were compensated for the lost 8 hrs and benefits not effected .

  29. Working 4/10's for almost 2 years now. Thanks covid. Get to spend more time with family

  30. Lol..after they jack prises

  31. 4 day work weeks are a must. Having Friday and Saturday to LIVE life, and we all know Sundays are rest days aka: Laundry and prepare for the weekdays-day….so Sundays don't really count LOL. But a 4 day work week to a 3 day weekend is exactly how we should be progressing.

  32. Jesus Christ, this exact thought runs through my head constantly. Hopefully we have a snowball affect.

  33. Yeap, when pandemic hit, all relief money went to the rich,0 for middle class n poverty,how Trump cares about Americans,so Americans strike back,take it n shove it, were looking for our own investments,can anyone blame them, not me

  34. 🖕🖕 lt takes just one hour to hack cash app for you..

  35. 🖕🖕 lt takes just one hour to hack cash app for you..

  36. "Out of every one hundred men, ten shouldn’t even be there, eighty are just targets, nine are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them, for they make the battle. Ahhh… But the ONE! One is a WARRIOR! And he will bring the others back!"

    – 🌏 The Big Picture (Satanic Freemason's Plan Exposed)

    "The First World War must be brought about in order to permit the Illuminati to overthrow the power of the Czars in Russia and of making that country a FORTRESS of atheistic COMMUNISM. The divergences caused by the “agentur” (agents) of the Illuminati between the British and Germanic Empires will be used to foment this war. At the end of the war, Communism will be built and used in order to DESTROY the other governments and in order to WEAKEN the religions.

    The Second World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences between the Fascists and the political Zionists. This war must be brought about so that Nazism is destroyed and that the political Zionism be strong enough to institute a sovereign state of Israel in Palestine. During the Second World War, International COMMUNISM must become strong enough in order to balance Christendom, which would be then restrained and held in check until the time when we would need it for the FINAL social cataclysm.

    The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the “agentur” of the “Illuminati” between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam and political Zionism mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…

    We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists (Russia, China) and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil.

    Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure DOCTRINE OF LUCIFER, brought finally out in the PUBLIC view.

    This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both CONQUERED and EXTERMINATED at the same time.”  – Albert Pike (100% accurate predicting ALL 3 World Wars)

    Quotes By Albert Pike from his book:

    "Masonry, like all the Religions, all the Mysteries, Hermeticism and Alchemy, CONCEALS its secrets from all except the Adepts and Sages, or the Elect, and uses FALSE explanations and misinterpretations of its symbols to MISLEAD those who deserve only to be misled; to CONCEAL the Truth, which it calls Light from them and to draw them AWAY from it."

    Fictions are necessary for the people, and the Truth becomes deadly to those who are not strong enough to contemplate it in all its brilliance. In fact, what can there be in common between the vile multitude and sublime wisdom? The Truth must be kept SECRET, and the masses need a teaching proportioned to their imperfect reason."

    "That which we must say to the crowd is, we worship a god, but it is the god one adores without superstition. To you sovereign grand inspector general, we say this and you may repeat it to the brethren of the 32nd, 31st and 30th degrees – the Masonic religion should be by all of us initiates of the HIGH degrees, maintained in the purity of the luciferian doctrine. Yes, lucifer is god!" – Albert Pike (Was a Lawyer, writer, Confederate General and a 33 degree Freemason/Satanic Illuminati.)

     – Albert Pike published this in a book "Morals & Dogma" in 1871. WW1 started in 1914, the Nazi party was established in 1920. Let that sink in…

    Revelation 12:15
    “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water AS A FLOOD after the woman (Bride of Christ), that he might cause her to be carried away OF THE FLOOD!”

    “And to the woman were given TWO WINGS OF A GREAT EAGLE (Rapture), that she might FLY INTO THE WILDERNESS, into her place, where she is NOURISHED for a time, and times, and half a time, AWAY FROM THE FACE OF THE SERPENT!"

    Deagle, this highly regarded intelligence organization has bleak prospects for the United States in the years to come, including an 81% decline in its population, from 327 million in 2017 to 100 million in 2025. In fact, it predicted a similar cataclysmic fate for the UK, Australia, Germany, Japan, Denmark, and other US allies. For example, according to Deagel, the population of France will increase from 67 million inhabitants in 2017 to 39 million in 2025, that of England will increase from 66 million to 15 million, that of Australia from 23 million to 15 million. , that of Germany from 81 million to 28 million, while the population of Canada will grow from 36 million in 2017 to 26 million in 2025. (China, Russia, and the rest of the communist countries population, don't get touched.)

    Deagel's reports, particularly the aforementioned research on North Korea, were also provided to the president during presidential briefings. Deagel thus provides information which is then used by global intelligence communities and governments. Here is a partial list of known Deagel partners and customers, according to their own websites: National Security Agency, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), the Russian Defense Procurement Agency, Stratfor, the World Bank and the United Nations."

  37. Getting paid with your back to the mattress is the oldest trade known

  38. I totally agree I believe as Americans we work way too much > I believe this will was one of the things Americans were doing wrong

  39. sucks for me cuz 4 day a week = 1 day less of pay.

  40. That companies can afford to offer 4 day work weeks at 5 days of pay, shows how much these companies were UNDERPAYING and SCREWING their workers before the change. And they're only doing it now because they have to, not out of the goodness of their evil greedy hearts. Ain't capitalism wonderful? Let's all clap for the company, finally forced to pay what they should have paid before!

  42. Just be a nurse and work three 12 hour shifts. Best decision 🥳

  43. 4 days work is very suitable for women who need to do a lot of caring, children, parents, shopping, housework etc. I used to be so exhausted after the fifth day, most of the time I would be so numbed from being so tired.

  44. 4 day 10 hour days are optimal when my company had that schedule I felt I had more than enough time for a balance!
