Reply to comment by Bojack35 in Four-Day Workweek Going Well Globally, Study Says by Sariel007

Flexible hours makes it sound like I Would still get paid the same wage. Like I can say I'm only going to work 4 days at my current job and they will accommodate. But I'm talking about 4 days 32 hours being the base line like 5 days 40 hours across the board. You work more than that you get Overtime and such.

Ok my bad - what I really mean (and what this 4 day week really is) is flexible hours with an increased salary. That works out as you getting the same for a day less and people doing the same days getting paid more.

All that standardizing 4 days does is lower the expected hours. This is great for people who want to work 4 days as it won't be as hard to find such jobs. This isn't great for people who want to work 5 and may struggle to find that/ be forced into 'side hustles'.

Edit - on a somewhat related note given it's a bank holiday tomorrow I am choosing to work overtime on, I need to go to sleep! Cheers.
