The reading passage focuses on the issue of changing workday from 5 days to 4 days a week, claiming that the change will benefit economy, companies and employees. The lecture deals with the same issue. However, the professor in the lecture contends that reducing workday number will not affect companies, economy or life of employees, which casts doubt on what the reading passage claims. In the lecture, ample evidence is harnessed by the professor to bolster his point.
First, although the reading passage argues that company profit will increase after the change due to fewer errors by workers with more rest, the professot points out that companies will be forced to spend more after the change. this is because that health benefit and some other costs for each employee would be the same, which suggests that with more employees money spent on training, medical insurance, office space and computers would increase.
Moreover, in spite of the argument in the reading passage that employment rate in the country would decline after the change, the professor points out that no additional jobs would actually be created after the change. If the change is taken into effect, companies would ask workers to work over time and expect higher productivity from them since hiring new workers would be costly.
Finally, the professor believes that life quality of workers would no be improved after the change, whereas in the reading passage it is thought that employees would have more free time to spend with their families, interests and leisure activities. The professor points out that workers with fewer working time woudl be passed by for promotion and may lose job when economy declines.
Based on these reasons, the professor precisely pinpoints the weaknesses of the reading passage and cogently reveals the core argument of the reading passage, that decreasing workday number in a week from 5 to 4 would be beneficial to economy, companies and employees, is incorrect.
