Do it for hourly people or give the choice to allow workers to do five. For many jobs it would just mean people working more hours per day to keep up with the volume.
That's the ponit same pay as 40 hr for 32 hr. . Better work/life balanced. I know it will not matter to you as you pick your hrs but there are a ton of people that are not that lucky.. if they whant to work 40 nothing is stopping them the company will just have to pay 8hrs of overtime.
The answer is more workers..
We already have a worker shortage. So no the answer isn’t more workers.
My gf is salary and works 50 hours a week. Four days a week means she’s working 12-13 hour days. She doesn’t want that.
We don't have a worker shortage we have a shortage of well paying jobs. If companies pay better than people will take the jobs.. and that sucks she has to work so much has they try hiring at better wages or you know she could say no...
I agree some of what you've said in this threat, but we 100% have a worker shortage. I work in healthcare and there just aren't people out there with the qualifications we need. There are not enough doctors or nurses in the US. The govt funds a lot of healthcare education (nursing and medical schools). The govt isn't expanding slots and schools often can't find teachers anyway (for nursing anyway, not docs as much).
The answer is obviously immigration, but that's an ethical issue in healthcare. Bringing in people who want to be nurses and docs usually means taking them from developing nations. As the US population gets older and we have fewer young people, we just won't have enough people working in healthcare.
We have a worker shortage. Look at the unemployment rate. I think last time I looked it was 3.2 which means we can’t fill jobs. Companies pay well enough. We have jobs that pay about 300k and we get very few applications because is the shortage. It’s well known there is a cybersecurity shortage, nursing as well.
