Great to see your belief in the 4-day week, @darrenpjones
We both know that AI won’t “let us” have a 4-day week by magic though - action is required to make it happen.
Government-backed trials would go a long way here. 👀

It’s Friday. The majority of us should have started our weekend already.*
(*some people might prefer Wednesdays off - it takes all sorts.)
It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

A 4-day week gives working parents a chance to find some balance without sacrificing their income, or their career.
If we want a society where parents can function, then it’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰
Advances in technology have made us exponentially more productive over the last 100 years.
These productivity gains should buy back time, not just stack more tasks.
It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰
Better Pay 💷

Fantastic to see “progress towards a 4-day working week” in @campaigns_pcs list of demands.
It’s time to win a 4-day week! ⏰
Imagine having one day dedicated to errands, appointments and admin, so your weekend is actually spent relaxing.
That's the power of a 4-day week. 🪫➡️🔋
Chronic stress destroys creativity and decision-making.
That’s bad for workers 𝘢𝘯𝘥 employers.
Giving workers a shorter working week produces clearer minds and fewer costly errors.

The four-day-week should be the ambition for all working people, unions and anyone with an interest improving lives.
“Productivity” improvements shouldn’t just be billionaires making more money.

How about we aim for the kind of AI that gives us all a 4-day week, instead of the one that has a ~10% chance of destroying us all?
Just a thought.
We used to work 6 days a week.
Then technology advanced.
So we worked 5 days a week.
Now, technology has advanced much, much further.
So it’s time to work a 4-day week. ⏰
Rested employees don’t burnout.
Respected employees don’t job-hop.
If you’re an employer planning for long-term success - it’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰
