> Shah was one of the pioneers of the perk in the UK. He started giving staff Wednesdays off This applies to salaried employees and I think agreeing on which specific day to take off is non-trivial. The standardized weekend is about coordination across society. The same principle applies to public holidays. Selecting Monday, Wednesday, or Friday for an additional day off has to apply across a region to benefit from the coordination effects. Even if you agree with a regional four-day work week I don’t think you will reach consensus on which day to take off.
