The passage and the lecture offer two opposing views regarding fourday workweek policy. while the text states that the fourday workweek would increase the productivity of the employees and would increase the profit of the companies, the professor thinks it would increase the unemployment rate and would reduce the quality of living of the employees.
first, the passage states that the profits of the companies would increase by offering a fourday workweek to the employees. However, the professor thinks that the companies would have to spent more if they offer fourday workweek to their emplyees which will cut down the profit. although the passage states that fourday workweek would enable the company to hire more workers to maintain the same amount of work, according to the professor it would cause additional cost because the companies would need to spent money after training new employees and their medical facilites. besides the companies would need more space to accomodate additional staffs and would require to buy more computers for them which would cut down the benefit earned.
Secondly, the professors refutes the idea of the passage which states that the fourday workweek policy would reduce unemployment rates. he thinks the companies would prefer to force the workers to do the same amount of work within the fourday workweek which they used to do within a fiveday workweek and as a result no new job opportunities for the unemployed ones would be created. besides, he states his concern regarding the promotion of the fourday workweek employees and according to him employees which work fivedays in a week would get prefernece while getting promotion.
Finally, the reading gives an idea that fourday workweek would reduce burden from the employees and would give them an opportunoity to enjoy their lives. Contrary to the passage, the professor thinks fourday workweek would make their career unstable. although the passage states that the quality of living would be improved by the new policy, the professor thinks that it would do the opposite as because the employees would be paid lesser amount of money. Editionally, the professors thinks that fourday workweek employees would be the first one who would loose jobs during a recesion time.
The
passage
and the lecture offer two opposing views regarding
fourday
workweek policy.
while
the text
states
that the
fourday
workweek would
increase
the productivity of the
employees
and would
increase
the profit of the
companies
, the
professor
thinks
it would
increase
the unemployment rate and would
reduce
the quality of living of the employees.
first
, the
passage
states
that the profits of the
companies
would
increase
by offering a
fourday
workweek to the
employees
.
However
, the
professor
thinks
that the
companies
would
have to
spent more if they offer
fourday
workweek to their
emplyees
which will
cut
down the profit.
although
the
passage
states
that
fourday
workweek would enable the
company
to hire more workers to maintain the same amount of work, according to the
professor
it would cause additional cost
because
the
companies
would need to spent money after training new
employees
and their medical
facilites
.
besides
the
companies
would need more space to
accomodate
additional staffs and would require to
buy
more computers for them which would
cut
down the benefit earned.
Secondly
, the
professors
refutes the
idea
of the
passage
which
states
that the
fourday
workweek policy would
reduce
unemployment rates.
he
thinks
the
companies
would prefer to force the workers to do the same amount of work within the
fourday
workweek which they
used
to do within a
fiveday
workweek and
as a result
no new job opportunities for the unemployed ones would
be created
.
besides
, he
states
his concern regarding the promotion of the
fourday
workweek
employees
and according to him
employees
which work
fivedays

while getting promotion.
Finally
, the reading gives an
idea
that
fourday
workweek would
reduce
burden from the
employees
and would give them an
opportunoity
to enjoy their
lives
. Contrary to the
passage
, the
professor
thinks
fourday
workweek would
make
their career unstable.
although
the
passage
states
that the quality of living would be
improved
by the new policy, the
professor
thinks
that it would do the opposite as
because
the
employees
would
be paid
lesser amount of money.
Editionally
, the
professors
thinks
that
fourday
workweek
employees
would be the
first
one who would
loose
jobs during a
recesion
time.
