So I just read ASDA is scrapping their 4 day work week because employees didn’t like it. Off the bat my bullshit meter is going haywire. So I read on and realize they were making these poor bastards work 11 hour days for 4 days a week. Now they can look like they tried something but it didn’t work out because no one wants to work 4 day work weeks. In reality, the whole point of a 4 day work week is to try and get the same amount done in less time. Cut out all the nonsense we waste time on and find more efficient ways of doing things.
Contrast that with the company that has the right idea: https://metro.co.uk/2024/07/08/staff-work-a-four-day-week-never-go-back-five-21184790/amp/
So are employers like ASDA really that obtuse or are they deliberately setting the four day week up for failure?
