In the Middle East and Southeast Asia even a 2-day weekend is rare!
People CHOOSE to work ALL week, only closing for a few hours just for Friday prayers because of social norms.
Expat workers in the Middle East get only a couple consecutive weeks off per year to go visit their families.
In developed societies, I think even keeping it a 2-day weekend and allowing employees to have at least one day of their choice to work from home would be great.
- colsw 7y agowork from home is very industry/role dependent, IT can easily work from home but the same can't be said for Hardware Ops or finance, who often rely on paper even in "modern" companies. if there's going to be a "new default" I think the 3 day weekend makes the most sense, or a Wednesday off scheme where you work 2 sets of 2 days.
