Employers: have you considered 6 days?
Plenty of people work 7 days now. Big profits for the top, poor compensation for the bottom.
The trick is how to make this work with 24/7 businesses. Now we have a set of 5 day workers that have full benefits and 2 day workers that have partial benefits. If the full benefit workers only work 4 days and the partial benefits workers now work 3, they will be pushing for full benefits as well. That means more cost to the business.
Maybe dont tie healthcare to jobs? That is the most expensive ‘benefit’ they offer.
4 12s one week, 3 12s the other, 4 shifts. I used to have that at an old job and it was kind of nice having 2 days off in the middle of the week and every other weekend having three days off. It would be Tuesday,Wednesday, Then Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Then Thursday, Friday.
I suppose you could do this on 8 hours and have 6 shifts instead of only 4. So only a 28 hour work week on average 24/32.
Corporate real estate companies too especially for in the office
Meh, I work in medicine; we’re stuck with 7 days forever.
But you have shifts and dayoffs that just don’t necessarily correlate with the weekend, right? Or do you live in the Land of Free where there are no employees rights?
I don’t work in healthcare but I know plenty of people who do. The industry is notoriously understaffed, and of course there are sudden emergencies you have to deal with. Therefore, they pretty much require 24/7 operations.
Operations /=/ employee hours. The understaffing is the issue.
Iaal and I would fucking kill for just a standard 40 hour, 5 day work week at this point 😓
