SHORTER DAYS AND LONGER HOURS, PLEASE.

Even as a student, I already have begun this practice of going to school only four tines a week with the exception of Thursday. I'm not even being unserious. It's just that since I begun for the sensester we've not actually had to do so much in that day. Maybe one class a day, with others canceled or something. It's just a lazy day.

Asides that, the weekend runs by so fast with so much that I have to do in that short time, which I sometimes think of as inadequate, that I would not mind a day off to tend to everything I need to, and at least get some hours off to rest.

Now, imagine those who work having the option. I can already picture those who work for corporate organizations that run a 9-5 job and those who are employed to run businesses that open from Mondays through to Friday(even Saturday) jump on this offer.

A friend works from Monday(8am - 5pm) through to Saturday in a tech establishment. She's only in her mid 20s and I already see how much the job is eating into her personnal life and how very little time she can afford to do even the basic thibgs for hersel and/or have some social life. You think if this was offered, she'd ever look the other way? I tell you, even if a small fraction of her monthly pay was taken off, she'd still jump on this. While she's not very grumpy about her job, she tells that she's mostly fatigued and unable to meet up with her other concerns outside of the job.

There is an almost infringed rule in employment. If people work for you, then happy people will be more productive. And for all I can say, breaks and free time to rest makes people happy, so...

Still, it depends.

I'm wondering if people would have to cram a 5-day job and run it through for the 4 working days. I'm wondering if people would have to work extra hours to make up for the fifth day of absence.
However, where I'm from, most people would be unbothered by that. They would not mind the strain.

Mentally, I think the one day off would be worth it. Having three full days to unwind would be beneficial to most. One thing of importance, though, is letting the people make their choices of what day they'll most prefer to be active on the job and give it all their best.

4-day a week prospect isn't a bad, especially if certain privileges aren't withheld and/or the work benefits aren't shortchanged.

If people get to work for only the arranged number of hours, neither more nor less,
If allowance and other holidays remain the same,
If the break in-between work isn't withheld, then employees will be less stressed and more happy to carry out their job roles, leading to improved concentration, dedication, and productivity at the job.

Albeit, we need to consider that this development might not suit everybody, so it's best to run a survey and find what the employees rhino and what they'd prefer.

Having an extra free day, preferably a Friday/Monday off to tend to other things like shopping, sorting bills, handling family, matters and spending some more time with loved ones will go a long way to revitalize and boost one's energy.
Personally, I'll take it. True.

Thanks for gracing this post.
