In the lecture, the professor makes a series of points that cast doubt on the all the arguments presented about the advantage of four-day work week and states they won’t benefit the empolyees and companies.
First of all, the professor says, hiring new employees are costly and force the companies to spend more . He illustrates that the companies may pay less monthly for the less work hours of four-day work week workers but the health benefit and training and medical coverage for every new employee even who works less than others is the same and more workers need more office space and more computers which means the companies have to spend more. This counters the author’s claim.
Secondly, the professor believes the four-day work week does not provide more jobs available in the market as the companies have other options. They prefer to increase their expectations from their employees and force their worker to work more and even overtime to cover all the work and responsibilities to prevent hiring of new employee which is costly. This does not help any additional job to be created and also makes the current job unpleasant for employees. This contradicted with the writer’s point of view.
Lastly, the lecturer agrees with the more free time in four-day work week but believes this more free time does not mean better quality of life. He believes even the quality of life of these employees will decrease due to less stability in their job and fewer chances of advanced carrier and promotion. Also, in the economic downturns these employees are more prone to lose their job. This completely counters the writer's claim.
