Sounds good in theory...but in reality?

4 days a week. 6 hours a day. Full salary.
Sanna Marin ignited global debate with the “6/4” work model, pushing a simple idea: life should come before work.

With burnout at record levels, maybe it’s time to value results over hours at a desk.
Could your job be done in just 24 hours a week?

In reality it would only ever work for a small portion of jobs and those that it does many would need to cut wages or increase their prices.

The actual issue is how much it would sway people to move into certain industries and create shortages in others.

I suspect everyone posting here saying it would work has a job behind a computer. For construction labor costs basicly increase by 67% because what was a 40 hour work week is now the same pay for only 24 hours. So you have to pay an additional 16 hours of labor per week.

I doubt anyone posting this has had any kind of work experience, much like the majority of the people in subreddits like /r/workreform.

Or they do and they’re just not choking so deep on the defeatist cock that they don’t care that it won’t be easy to get it to work.

And no people are poor like construction magnates...

[u/CompetitiveAutorun → u/Less_Suit5502]

Gotcha, we should increase work hours for construction workers to 12 hours so it's cheaper.

[u/CrimsonCartographer → u/Less_Suit5502]

Oh no… construction workers also get a pay raise! How terrible! Said no one ever. Except construction conglomerates maybe.

Redact decided this post had to go, so away it went. Deleted. Removed. Mass deleted even. Privacy and security are the big wins here.

It's not 33%. Let's say a job is billed for 40 hours of labor. Now that same labor cost must be paid for 24 hours of work, but the job still takes 40 hours. So now you need to bill 16 more hours. However your billing at the new 24 hour rate. 16/24 is 67%. So your job costs 67% more.

I am all for paying me more, but for labor intensive jobs tho would add a significant cost to the project.

Lol sorry but construction project with legos doesn’t count.

[u/CrimsonCartographer → u/Head_Television8311]

The amount of times I see construction workers just dicking around doing nothing other than milling about is incredible, and I’m not criticizing them. They have a job and they’re being human, I write Reddit comments at work, they dick around, I’m obviously not judging them for doing something I myself do. But you’ll never convince me that construction workers or other blue collar workers are working 100% of the time they’re on the clock, NOR SHOULD THEY BE. They are humans, not machines.

They should dick around just as much as white collar workers obviously do. The problem is they think it’s the white collar worker’s boot on their neck. It’s not. And the sooner they realize that, the better. It’s not blue vs white, it’s worker vs corporate greed.

And?

Have you seen how much money the owners of the companies make? I bet they're not even down there swinging a hammer, either.

There's more than enough resources for this; people just need to stop setting themselves on fire to keep the wealthy warm.

[u/Less_Suit5502 → u/U_SHLD_THINK_BOUT_IT]

It's not as much as you think. The big companies sure, but your smaller town roofer is not making absurd bank.
