I don’t think you need 51% to affect things at the margins. At one company, we were early to the “remote is OK” and “remote is good” camps. It helped a lot with recruiting and retention, and let us hire a better talent pool. Post-COVID with everyone offering remote the benefit has dwindled for companies early to accept remote work. I think someone offering 4 day work weeks would be able to hire talent they wouldn’t normally be able to. If the promise of “same productivity, less hours, same pay” is true, then they’ll outperform and out recruit.
Mass strikes are certainly quicker though.
- katbyte 4y agothis is a real good point, pre covid being remote was a good perk. something i didn't even know i wanted. now its a basic requirement for me to consider a job. now if someone offered me same pay, but a 4day work week, my interest would be peeked. not only that people who've had time off to destress/etc do better work. 2 days for a weekend doesn't really do that. 3 days is almost like a mini vacation and everyone is in high spirits after a 3 day weekend
- loonster 4y agoI would take Wednesdays off. No more than 1 day away from a day off. Need to schedule an appointment for anything: Wednesday.
