Two short weeks in a row feels about right as far as work/life balance is concerned. Dreaming that the four day work week becomes the norm before I retire in about 20yrs
On the one hand I’m keen for a 4 day week, but on the other… How is it going to work from a dollar value point of view? We’re in a trade and we exchange our labour for an hourly rate. If we’re going to be getting paid the same amount of money (as the theory goes) in a 32 hour week instead of a 40 hour week, our hourly rate will have to go up to cover the difference. Which makes us more expensive. Which means the people using us have to put their fees/charges/income-generator up. And now whoever buys their product/service has to charge more or earn more to cover it. Repeat until we all earn infinity but still have zero buying power.
