The weekend is the most anticipated time for workers because it’s the time when they can live for themselves as they don’t have any official tasks to do. We need food to survive, and money is needed to buy it and to earn money we need to do some work, and that’s quite a normal thing. Most of us work to earn money, and we receive salary at the end of each month.
Weekend time we remain pressure-free and enjoy some time with our family. In most of the country, there are five working days and two days for the weekend. I am quite sure that most of the people, especially the workers, will be very happy if the working days are reduced to four days, but will it be a good thing. Let’s discuss it.
From one perspective, it’s good because it will allow us to spend more quality time with family members. It’s just a possibility because in the current time people make it difficult to enjoy quality time with family members because the majority of family members may choose to spend time with digital devices, and in that case, four working days will not be effective. But still, it will allow us to spend more time as we want, which can give us satisfaction and may boost our work activity.
As it allows us to give three days as weekends, it may help us to generate some extra money using the time. Three days is a huge time, and I am sure in such kinds of situations there will be some money generating source for us, and based on skills, it can be an opportunity for those who are experts in multiple skills. But at the same time, it’s a risk also because if one knows only one skill, then it will not be so effective for them.
It will naturally create an impact on the total productivity or output of a nation, and decreasing productivity is not good for the national economy. And everyone needs to bear the result of the economic loss of a country.
The bosses of workers are not fools, and they won’t agree with anything that is not beneficial for them. If the working day is reduced to four days, then they may decrease the salary of the workers, and it will not be a good thing. In such a situation, workers may not be able to cope with the monthly expenses, and they will be forced to in search of another job. It will not be possible for everyone. If they get the opportunity also to work for the extra three days, then it’s an advantage and disadvantage at the same time because in such a situation they need to work all day. It may affect spending quality time with family members. Moreover, they are humans, not robots, who can work all day, and they are not money machines either. Again, continuously working all day of the week must make them weak, as proper rest will not be possible. Various kinds of health issues may arise, and it will be quite an expected situation of working continuously.
In case someone chooses to take three days as the weekend, they may suffer a financial crisis. So from both sides, I think it’s not a wise idea but if it’s possible by giving the same salary then I think it will be a superb idea and everyone will be happy.
