I believe he is saying that most jobs say one thing about hours and then often do another thing entirely. So in that world, taking a lower paying job for a theoretically better work life balance probably isn't going to pan out.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 5y agoYeah, I think going around telling employers that you want to get paid 80% salary to work at 80% capacity is a huge mistake. You’re giving up your negotiating position and won’t get offered good jobs. You will probably end up getting paid less than half as much as you could have if you didn’t mention to your employer that you aren’t that into working. On the other hand, you can find jobs that pay really well but have a chill work-life balance.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoYes, but the main benefit of 4 day weeks is having 3 days where you can do whatever you want. It’s not about not being “into” working. Of course, the employer will want you for as many days as possible, since even if you’re sitting there doing nothing 80% of the day on Friday, why not have you obliged in case something comes up.
