Mike RiversdaleIf you're an employer and thinking, "But they will take the piss ..." then you're probably also hating that people now see flexible working ("work from home" / WFH) as a nightmare that means you can't micromanage your worker cogs ... you are going the way of the dinosaur and I won't miss you.<a href="https://blog.mikeriversdale.co.nz/2025/06/four-day-working-week-i-like-it.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://blog.mikeriversdale.co.nz/2025/06/four-day-working-week-i-like-it.html</a><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/4DayWorkWeek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#4DayWorkWeek</a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#work</a>

UBI4MEHere's an article on the 4 day work week and UBI which, whilst quite cynical, still shows some important points:"Already, it’s estimated that, in the first year of ChatGPT, 14 per cent of Americans lost their jobs to robots.""... because AI will reduce employment. But if true, it’s hard to see how four days will be any more of a safeguard than five.

jbz｢ Starting in April, the Tokyo Metropolitan government, one of the country’s largest employers, is set to allow its employees to work only four days a week. It is also adding a new “childcare partial leave” policy, which will allow some employees to work two fewer hours per day.

Leo Febey 🚌A classic example of why I at least prefer the 4 day work week. Saturday was a fun recreational day, LAN party and DnD afterwards. Sunday was a refresh/recharge day sleeping in and going for a walk and doing very little. Monday was helping one client for 1hr then getting a new car battery and sending in PC monitor for repair - those tasks you want to do on the weekend, but my Sat and Sun was already taken up. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/4dayworkweek" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#4dayworkweek</a>

Infrapink (he/his/him)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.

We’re just taking the AI companies, who say they’re in the process of ushering in a sublime productivity revolution, at their word! What better way to ensure all workers, not just CEOs, share the benefits of this presumably enhanced efficiency? While we’re at it, the same case might be made to agitate for universal healthcare again, too. The case should be obvious: In a world of hyperabundance, everyone gets access to free healthcare. It should be the very first thing. Anything else is immoral. Otherwise you get Elysium.This is simply to say, for the last two years, investors, policymakers, and corporate enterprises have taken the tech companies at their word when they’ve pitched AI as a revolutionary and transformative technology—they should be methodically pushed to support commensurate revolutionary and transformative social policies, then, no? Unless, of course, they want to admit that they are full of shit.Now, look; this is of course a haphazard and deeply incomplete list of ideas, but again; what better time to get the ball rolling? There are more people, users, and workers thinking about technology and how it’s shaping their lives—and willing to push back openly when that shape is turning out worse—than anytime perhaps this century so far. Generative AI is in this sense a burden and a beacon; a vast and dull force embraced by management to automate and oppress creative work, that may yet spark a broader reimagining of how we coexist with technology in general. And how we want to make it work for us, and not the other way around."<a href="https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/this-labor-day-lets-consider-what" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/this-labor-day-lets-consider-what</a>
