What a tone deaf image representing the four day work week.
Moving to 32 hrs on paper and really expecting 60, instead of 40 on paper and really expecting 60.That’s a bold move, Cotton.
Let’s just make it 0 already, get it over with.
Yeah, not gonna happen where I work. The top brass is already pushing for “moving fast” every single day. “Use AI to be x10 more productive”, “Use vibe coding in your work to reduce time taken” are the common things that we hear. There’s no way they’ll do a 4 day work week.
Vibe… what now? Is that like coding in all caps when you’re pissed off or in a bastardised flavour of “CaMel CaSe” for those moments you want some spice things up with some sarcasm?
Vibe coding means the human is working with an AI Agent which is trained to be a software engineer. The responsibility of the human is only to write detailed prompts and the AI will write most or all of the code.
Thanks, I hadn’t come across the term, TIL.
If it’s not a 32hr workweek, I don’t wanna hear about it. There are some jobs in tech on indeed that are advertising 4x10s, fuck that shit.
This article specifically states 4x32. So that’s good. Should be in the title but I’m a pedant.
Everyone should, every job should be able to take advantage of this. Hire more people to compensate.
Billionaires don’t want this, so I’m super pessimistic. But if we keep talking about it and pushing for it, maybe someday…
Edit: 4x8 not 4x32…
I actually find a 4x10 shift to be a great option but that’s the key, it’s an option where I work. Not mandatory and not for everyone. I really enjoyed the three day weekend. I think 4x10 as an option is a great choice if companies insist on 40 hour work weeks but moving to 4x8 (32 hour) weeks is a much better standard without a doubt.

4 day workweek is probably the best we can get, lower it and some morherfucker will take two jobs and screw up the economy.
