work 4 days of the week instead of 5 days of the week.
The reading specifies that it is better for employees to work four days a week instead of five days. However, the professor casts doubt on this claim and provides three reasons to reject the mentioned point in the reading.
First, based on the reading, employees feel more rested and alert by shortened workweek and because of that, the company does not need to hire additional persons to accomplish the same amount of work. In contrast, the lecturer says that declining the working hours will not lead to not hiring extra employees. Adding new employees require health insurance, additional computers, and more space which costs money for the company.
Second, the article specifies that offering a lesser workweek will diminish the unemployment rate. Nevertheless, the professor implies that because of the cost of hiring new employees, no additional jobs will be created by this method. Also, the employees have more expectations from employees to work better. This expectation leads to overtime working which is unpleasant for employees.
Third, according to the reading, the option of a four day workweek will enhance the quality of employees' life, because not only can spend extra time with their family but also, they can pursue interests. On the other hand, the man explains that there is a risk that can reduce the quality of employees' work and job stability which can make them lose their job, especially in bad economic times. Also, since the supervision position needs to work 5 days in a week, the people will lose their chance to advance in their job.
