For a brief moment around 2023 the 4 day work week almost seemed like a real possibility but then something happened and the issue just died out.
I am creating this post as a way to collect information and research on the topic. Do you know of any research done on the subject? Do you have personal experience? Share them in the comments all engagement is welcome! Let’s bring that issue back to life!
In Brazil is being debated on the congress, the law was proposed as 4x3, but the congresswoman that made the proposal said that the intention is to be debated and moved to 5x2, because in Brazil the law is working maximum 6 days a week with a 44hs week, with one day of paid rest. Hope the law pass so everyone can have 2 days a week to rest.
Best of luck, I hope it is accepted!
4x3 is a pipedream, but 5x2 for all workers in an incredible advance.
In my sector (financial services) everyone already works 5x2, but they’re some companies offering 4x3 already, but they are very rare, if 5x2 became the baseline, more companion are going to offer 4x3.
That sounds nice, here (eastern Europe) all contracts are 5x2 it is not bad, but being so solid means nobody will even think of 4x3…
