So are you talking like "shift work" for salary jobs? That's the way I read it. It's interesting for sure. I mean in the field I work in you often see stuff like that. Data centers where they need to have 100% uptime will often have coverage through the night in case something happens.
Kind of like shift work. But if you think that a normal 5 day week is Monday to Friday and 4 people do 20 days collectively. Instead, 5 people can do do a four day week and still cover the 20 hours. If then for instance, education systems could then offer courses that fit into Monday, Fridays and possibly Wednesday or something, so the on the "day off" people can learn.
I'd be so happy if we moved to a four day work week. I've actually worked at schools where they do something like that for the students. It's called block scheduling and you still go all five days, but Friday is more for studying, catching up, and getting one on one attention from the teacher. Kind of like office hours at university.
I think it would be good to have that kind of schooling here too, though the school schedules are pretty strange here - more like university scheduling for the students. .
However, I wish they would have more support for how to learn.
Yeah, I think there are a lot of positives and negatives. I think a lot of things would actually be different if the government didn't have so much say and the unions didn't basically control everything else.
