I do that since more than a year and it also give more room for voluntary work and has a much higher value for the local community and the society! #4dayweek #volunteering

100 years of servitude: This year marks the 100th anniversary of the official invention of the weekend. In May 1926, Ford Motor Co reduced the working week from six to five days because it was more efficient.

Now, I think, it's time to go a step further #4DayWeek

from #TheCrux
"Three day weekends are excellent and I think we should have more of them. I am far from alone.
A trial across multiple countries found a four-day work week reduces burnout. The World Economic Forum found four-day work weeks to be good in 2022. There’s also groups that run training courses on how to move your company to a four-day work week and they have a bunch of research also.
Since we’re all about data-driven decision making these days, I guess we’re all moving to adopt four-day work weeks as fast as we can, right? Given all the benefits and the research showing it’s a good thing to do? No?
Apparently it takes around 20 years for research to fight its way out of the dry prose of academic journals and into the wider populace.
A four-day work weeks seems weird only because we’re used to five, but there’s nothing natural about a two-day weekend. It’s remarkable how quickly people adjust to sudden changes in timekeeping, after all. Weeks aren’t real in the way that days are, and yet we make weird and arbitrary changes to how long a day is all the time and call it #daylightsaving.
Maybe we could start calling #fourdayweeks “#weekend saving” and start doing it for six months at a time to get people used to the idea. Once the people closer to the equator figure out what to do with their curtains and cows for half a year, we could suggest that this changing of the week twice a year is silly and we should just move to a permanent four day work week.
Then we can move on to the next goal: the three day work week.
Who’s with me?"

A majority of people are for climate action www.peoplesclimate.vote We need to communicate that to politicians 📣, so that they make stronger policies to combat climate change.
Solutions? #degrowth , shorter working week ( #4dayweek ), citizens assemblies, Climate Job Guarantee.

Norwegian-Swedish study confirms a shorter work week improves quality of life, overall well-being, health (less sick leave) but also productivity.
Not something the German chancellor would like to hear. He wouldn’t want to make his rich fellows richer if us workers don’t get our fair share of suffering along with it.

@statsguy I understand that constituents need access to council services at any time of week but why not just run two 4 day shift schedules and pay more on weekends.
Also bbc has a tor address[1] Tor keeps political dissidents protestors whistleblowers and journalists safe when even their lives are in danger, and the more people use tor the harder it will become to use correlation attacks to de-anonymise tor users

Remote professionals are quiet quitting Fridays …could open the door to a 4-day work week
https://fortune.com/2025/11/17/remote-hybrid-four-day-work-week-time-use-survey/
"From 2019 to 2024, the average number of minutes worked on Fridays fell by about 90 minutes in jobs that can be done from home.
… informal easing into the weekend, once confined to office norms, can be a morale booster
…In occupations that require continuous hand-offs, staggered schedules can actually improve efficiency by spreading coverage across more hours in the day.
…The benefits, in terms of work-life balance, #autonomy, #recruitment and reducing turnover, can be very real."

Science confirms what we all suspected: Four-day weeks rule
As long as you get paid like a 5-day gig
Employees work better and tire less when working a four-day week, according to a six-month trial involving thousands of individuals.

Two hundred UK companies sign up for permanent four-day working week - More than 5,000 workers to benefit from reduced hours with no loss of pay
“9-5, five-day working week was invented 100 years ago and is no longer fit for purpose. We are long overdue an update.”
With “50% more free time, a four-day week gives people the freedom to live happier, more fulfilling lives”

UK Trials Four-Day Week
The four-day working week could be edging closer as a thousand employees across various industries take part in a new pilot of a four-day week in the UK.
Their hours will be cut while their pay-packet will remain the same, with the findings from the pilot to be presented to the UK government in the middle of 2025.
A previous four-day week trial recorded the following benefits:
- 65% fewer sick days taken.
- 57% decrease in the number of staff leaving.
- 35% average revenue increases for participating firms.
Recognising these benefits in productivity, roughly 200 British firms have already switched to a shorter working week according to the 4 Day Week Campaign group.
4 Day Week Campaign director Joe Ryle said, “These incredible results show that the four-day week with no loss of pay really works.”

Let's just ensure that if the 4-day week becomes standard, everybody gets a 20% raise so that their weekly pay stays the same. And also the minimum wage needs to increase by 20% for the same reason.

A fresh pilot of a four-day working week is currently taking place in the UK, despite several tech giants recently mandating five days a week in the office for their staff.

Mai Thi Nguyen-Kim hat sich die bisherige Studienlage angesehen. Es gibt Schwächen im Studiendesign und Interessenskonflikte bei "4 day week global", von dem viele Studien zum Thema initiiert wurden. #4dayweekGlobal soll laut #MaithinkX Unternehmen bei der Einführung der 4 Tage Woche gegen Geld beraten.Für mich ist das unklar, was hinter #4dayweekGlobal und #autonomy wirklich steckt.

I’ve always understood the point of a 4 day week is you work fewer hours with no loss of pay. I’ve seen people say these proposals are a step in the right direction, but I’d personally find working longer hours on fewer days worse than what I’m doing at the moment

Everyone loves the #4DayWeek.
It's good for the environment, health, workers, and productivity.
Every time it's tried, it's a roaring success.
It gives people freedom, dignity, agency, and joy.Which is why the ruling class will never accept it without a fight.
My staff work a four-day week – I’ll never go back to five
