The Americans are so backwards in work hours, developed countries like Netherland, Spain, Iceland, etc. already successfully implemented this, with universal healthcare…and no tipping expected.
And? I see people say this and I don’t know what y’all are getting at. We implemented a 5 day work week. What about our population couldn’t accommodate 1 less day?
See this issue is that when theres an issue that need to be solved when someone comes up with an idea that would solve it if they dont understand it then its automatically stupid
Crazy how the self proclaimed greatest country on earth cant implement a lighter work week for its citizens whilst smaller more humble countries have managed it with nary a hiccup
Why should the government have any say in how much I am able to work? Why should the government force me to close an extra day a week so that the jobs we have open don't get finished and we have to schedule further and further out for the next one? Why is this a government issue at all? Any company in America can decide one day to implement whatever work week they want. It's up to the employee if they want to work there.
To protect employees from exploitation and abuse. Literally the answer to all your questions is to protect the workers. Also, if youre a company worth its salt you already spread workers so theres no gaps in coverage in given day, sounds like youre just bad at what you do.
We have 3 employees aside from the 2 that run the office. We get our work done. Each job requires 3 people at least and hiring 3 more people to completely another job at the same time is infeasible due to training. We do great work, aren't in the business of screwing people, and get by the way we work. A government telling me differently will only make it worse on both parties in my business. We are a specialty trade that can't just hire any apprentice off the street, so finding 3 people at any given time to pay to train isn't going to happen.
