The popular 5 day workweek has long been a staple in U S business With employees working 8 hours a day for a total of 40 hours a week it has been seen as a model of efficiency However some companies and government agencies have begun converting to a 10 ho

The professor avers that even changing five-day workweek to four-day may offer some benefits for employees but they are not enough to accept this imperresive change for businesses. He believes the reading reasons are weak and unconvincing. The lecturer points out it is correct that decreasing one day from workdays will decrease the cost of commute, but howmuch? He explains that for the average employees it will save around 20 dollars per day and 850 in a year, which is not a big saving. He strongly disagrees this is reasonable to accept this big change in workdays. Therefore, he directly repudiates the writer's reason that with changing the work days form five to four, employees will spend a lot less which cause them accept to work even far from their home. The speaker posits that the reading's reason about decreasing the operating cost of businesses is misguding. If business work four days a week, they will lose benefit by 20 percent, he says. In addition, employees who work ten hours a day, at the last two hours, they will have less efficacy which ends up losing more benefit for companies. With this explanation, he both rebuts the author's reason and insists that it is not justified to make this change. Third, the spoksman puts forth that working four days a week does not necessarily mean that parents have more time to spend with their children. Since they should find a childcare facility to cover long hours in workweek, which is a hard task by itself, also they could not see their kids in the first half of the fifth day they are home and thier childern are in carehouse. As we see, the writer's opinion which people will spend more time with their loved ones help them to come back to work with high mood does not hold water.
