Won't ever happen. It's a nice thought. But there's no way in hell companies would get on board with this sort of thing.

Sure they will. It'll increase profits for entertainment and travel/tourism industries.

So office workers will have three day weekends to shop/travel/go out and there will be more need for retail & restaurant workers to work more hours at low wages.

I can see politicians going for this.

They already do in manufacturing, and a lot of other blue collar jobs like collision repair. Once you get out of the office jerk life, there's a whole new world of worse working conditions and exploitation awaiting you

Who says I'm an 'office jerk' lol. I'm a gas engineer. I have never worked in an office in the 20+ years I've been in full time employment. There isn't sight nor sound of any company here in the UK dropping to 4 day work weeks without compromise. And that compromise is working the same hours as a 5 day week over 4 days. So that's not really a win in my eyes.
