Just watching Andy Burnham on Sky News. He’s just torn the Tories apart. He absolutely smashed them to bits. It was very impressive. I really like Burnham.
It’s more likely at this point that truss will announce a return to a 6 or 7 day working week and the reintroduction of workhouses and debtors prisons.
I do absolutely fuck all on Fridays anyway, so this basically already applies to me 😂
I always see a lot of resistance for stuff like this and WFH from boomers and retirees… are they just envious they had to work 5 days and want everyone else to suffer?
Tories throw that table into landfill and force 7 day working week 16 hour days lest you go to food banks or starve
Whilst I support the idea of a trial, I think it needs really careful implementation… I worry that this could end with some kind of pro-rata pay cut, or a further reduction of our competitiveness as a nation.
IMO companies need to be convinced that overall output will remain similar – otherwise, despite the advances in productivity over recent decades, it’ll be seen as a ‘step back’.
I suspect thick lizzie will bring a 996 work week to the UK. Since she thinks presenteeism is productivity.
Truss: We shall deliver a 4 day working week!..
We have also revised the week to 4 calendar days.
How does the cost of losing those hours to shift work like police, firefighters and NHS be covered as more staff would be required to cover this.
At an additional cost, assume individuals still get paid for five days it’s not an easy thing to implement.
I think it’s a good idea tho
Can’t imagine many labour MPs agreeing an increase to a 4 day week. 😉
>four-day working work
Labour MP tables first ever parliamentary bill to bring in four-day working week
It’s literally easier to copy/paste the headline.
I wonder if they expect this to not apply to school children, and teachers will have to work 5 days still
RLB
No surrender
Four day week
Three day bender
Whilst I would love this, would never happen in my job. It’s a sales company – they’ll never close for a Friday. Best we get are early finishes
Obligatory ~~Boris~~ Truss Says No Comment.
Still taking some getting used to.
This’ll only affect jobs that are already decent
It won’t affect care workers, retail workers, hospitality etc
I already work 4 day weeks 0730-1730 and it’s basically agreed by everyone that you’ll work about 6ish hours of that time. Obviously as long as the work gets done for the day and your taking the piss, everyone is cool with it
great idea. I would much prefer to work 4 x 10 hour days, but I hear on the radio some of the trials were 4 x 8 hours but still get 100% pay … and there was no loss in productivity – they made savings by cutting out a daily 30min meeting and reducing emails by only including those that need to action something (I’d love that, half the work emails I get I read and just think why on earth did you cc me!)
I still haven’t heard an explanation as to why working 40hrs a week is normal? Name one animal that works 8hrs a day just to survive.
“Hahaha, no.” – The 1% that benefits the most from the Wage-Slavery
Pointless introducing a bill you know has zero possibility of passing, their just trying for good pr. The litmus test will be if Labour try again when Tories get crushed next GE.
If this is of such undoubted benefit, why does it need a law to impose it?
Good luck getting that passed Victorian values Moggy lol
