I think if applied globally, a large number of things that I want to do on extra free day will also be closed. If everyone gets friday off it will be just like saturday where I can't to bank, dr, therapist appointments and so on because they also closed. This new holiday must be mandatorily floating
- t-writescode 6y agoI’m confident the distribution of people that take different days off would be fine. Some would take Monday (me) Some would take Friday Some would take Wednesday. Hourly employees would still take whatever day fits the official schedule
- rlayton2 6y agoThe other reply was on the money (i.e. people would take different days), but also don't let the threat of "if everyone did it, something bad would happen" stop the immediate gains during such a transition. If your scenario was to happen, it would be 10 years at least, even with a quick change in habits. That's a long time before such problems come into play. Similar arguments are made against the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement - if everyone stopped buying things wouldn't the economy slow down? Sure, it probably would, but such large changes in behaviour take time, and adjustments would be made during that time if the trend continues.
