offering four days work for employees instead of five days a week
Both the passage and the lecture discuss the effect of offering employees four days work per week with less pay instead of five days. While the reading mentions the benefits of this offer, the professor has another point of view.
Firstly, the professor suggests that offering a four days work per week with 80% of the original pay instead of working five days will force the company to spend more money. Hiring more workers will require the company to spend some money for training the new employees, and providing them with office spaces and computers, as well as medical benefits. While the reading suggests that a four days work will actually increase the company profit by having fewer overworked and errors made by employees for the same money.
Another point of the debate related to the idea that offering the four days work will affect the country. while the passage suggests that it will decrease the unemployment rate by making the workload shift to others, the lecturer assumes that the company will probably asks their employees to work overtime to finish the work instead of hiring new workers. moreover, the company will expect the five days job to be done in four days from their employees which will lead to an unpleasant job.
Lastly, the passage suggests that this offer will improve the employees quality of life by having them more time to spend with their families, or to spend it for their own interest, or enjoying leisure activities. In contrast, the speaker says that will actually risk their employees job stability and harm their chances to get promotions. As many management jobs need an employee with five days work to measure their ability to work.
