Why Doesn’t Australia Have A 4-Day Work Week When It Sounds Like Fkn Bliss? An Investigation

I’m pretty sure if you asked most people what their ideal work week involved, it would not include five whole days of labour. The elusive four-day work week has been discussed, debated and discoursed-about for decades. We already know the benefits of a four-day working week — people are more productive and they’re happier. Companies don’t lose profits. So why don’t we have a four-day work week? And what would it take to implement one? The idea of a four-day work week is genuinely a lightly erotic fantasy for me: a three-day weekend? One day for tasks, one day for fun, one day for relaxing? No hump day in the middle of the week, because the week only has four days? It seems like a bit of a no-brainer that we would go for a four-day working week — so why don’t we?
