The article discusses a fascinating topic pertaining to shortening of workweek of the employees from five days to four days and provides three explanations for supporting this change. However, the lecturer casts doubt on the claims made by the writer, saying that his arguments are somewhat inaccurate when compared to real facts.
To begin with, the reading passage claims that this amendment increases the company’s profits by mentioning that if the companies shorten the workweek, then employees fell rested more. As a result, they become less error-prone worker in their job and they produce more qualified product. Moreover, he adds that company can hire more worker with the same money and can do more jobs than ever before which increases the profits.The professor repudiates this point by saying that even if the companies hire more worker, it will be more costly for the companies because the more new worker you hire, the more spending on the traning for these workers is. Furthermore, he claims that hiring new workers also means allocating extra office spaces and extra computer for the new workers and these are important costs to afford for a company.
Secondly, the writer suggest that this change is benefical for the society as a whole by stating that if the workload decreases, then this shortened workload would have to be shifted to other workers and this results in less unemployment. The lecturer,however, rebuts this by mentioning that hiring new worker may be more costly for companies rather than being more profitable and also may have no effect on the unemployment. He elaborates on this by bringing up the point that companies may expect the same amount of job from workers at the duration of shortened days and this will be more tiring for employess but it won’t effect the unemployment rate.
Final discrepancy between the article and the class discussion is about the benefit of this application for an individual employee. In the article it is stated that after this regulation employees can find more time to spend this time with their families and also to spend for pursuing their private interests. The lecturer opposes this point by explaining that if the workers have less time with their job then it is hard to develop their career for the employees. He also states that in this environment, they may lose the opportunity to promote in the management positions because employers may choose the employees for a managerial position who prefer to working five days to working four days.
