A Four Day Work Week And A Three Day Weekend Will Be Better
I feel that a four day work week is sufficient enough that giving a three day weekend would benefit society with less stress and allowing them to spend more time with family and enjoy life.

Yes! Great! Did you know in France primary schools only have a 4 day week? Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, no Saturday morning of Wednesday afternoons.

I am all for this debate topic on the grounds it is a wonderful observation of the needs of the human being for vocational achievement plus R & R.

Personally I would like 6/8 ratio, but 5/7 is the best we can do right now.

Go ahead Lori, take whatever time you want off. Those of us who don't even look at the hours we work, but look at the goal, will take your extra work.

Did you know some European countries have experimented with mandating less than 40 our work weeks because they believed it would actually boost hiring to make up for the time difference? Truth is not only did it do little to boost hiring but it lowered productivity and became a sense of entitlement with unions.

Personally, I'm not a work-a-holic but I do my full 40 without stress, I enjoy my two day weekends (3 on holidays) and I'm fine with the arrangement.
