Going from 5 days a week, as we have, to 4 days a week, seems good to me.

Even president Nixon thought that we would be going towards a 4 day work week but it has yet to happen here in the states. The 4 day work week movement is getting stronger overseas.

That's a good thing for global US companies, as they'll be more likely to adopt that standard here, which will ultimately influence the domestic workforce overall.

I dunno. Have any global US companies adopted overseas maternity leave rules domesticly?
Microsoft has a good one.

Hell yeah!
I was reading that some country that adopted this actually saw increased productivity. People appreciated the extra day off, and were less burned out, and worked harder during the 4 day workweek as a result. It's just an anecdote from one country, but intuitively that makes a ton of sense to me.

Are you really surprised that they don't know how to spell Brandon? This is Florida, so they probably pronounce it as Branon and was sounding it out as they spell it.

It was Ireland, but a bunch of countries have piloted it to good results. The UK is piloting it right now
Four-day working week pilot launched in UK
Back in 2019 the Labour Party in UK wanted to make the 4 day work week be standard across the UK

meanwhile in the US, people that could really benefit from this would argue against it on the grounds that it's communism
They may have one of the worst in terms of work culture. They're expected to stay very late, can't leave until managers do, dedicate to your job and company, shytty social life, and all of that is quite unproductive to actual work. They have this whole salary man stereotype. Even the Japanese companies in America have the same culture which is why I avoid Japanese companies when applying for a job.
