The reading passages stated that companies in The United States would implement new policy for employees who decide to work four days a week instead of the current five days work week. Meanwhile, the lecturer casted doubt about this new policy would result, the lecturer mentioned some warning that this decision might have not been mentioned by the reading.
First, the reading claimed that shortened work days would increase company profits, since employees would be more rested and alert, therefore, would make fewer errors. However, the lecturer stated that companies would be forced to spend more money. If they hire new employees, they will have to pay for training, extra medical benefits, create more office space, and also buy more computers. As a result, the company would be spending more money than making profits.
Second, according to the reading this new policy would decrease the unemployment rate. Once more full-time workers began to work four days a week, some of their responsibilities would be transferred to others. The lecturer opposed this condition because the company would increase their expectations. Companies would expect that an employee who works eighty percent would do the same job as a full-time worker, creating an unpleasant and overloaded routine of work.
At last, the reading stated that workers who work four days a week would improve their quality of life. The lecturer disagreed, stating that workers who work four days a week are likely to experience economic instability. Also, expose them to be the first who lose their job in case of a crisis. Besides the fact, companies would not be interested in promoting them, preferring a worker who works full-time to ensure supervision of the entire work week.
