4 day work weeks will be for the elite. While those in service jobs will probably end up with two 30 hour a week jobs. The definition for full time won’t change, but skilled workers will get full time benefits at 32 hours, everyone else will continue to get screwed.
It’s kind of like unlimited PTO. It sounds good on paper but some people will receive outsized benefits compared to others.

- dexwiz 2y agoI agree with you, but I imagine I’m a bit more pessimistic. I don’t like anything about the above scenario, but it’s what I believe would be the likely outcome of 4 day work weeks.
