SINGAPORE: As an alternative to a four-day workweek, a proposal that’s been floated time and again, a local Reddit user put forth an idea for a 4.
5 day workweek, which they claim is an arrangement that would “make everyone’s life better.”called their proposal of working an extra hour on four weekdays and then only working half-days on the fifth, a “game-changer” but acknowledged that different business needs should be taken into consideration for its implementation.
On their part, it would be easier for employees to manage one extra hour of work rather than two extra hours and a full day off, especially since the latter arrangement would cut into the time they have in the evenings. A 4.5-day workweek would also allow employees half a day off for all the things workers want to do, and frees up their weekends “for actual R&R.”That 4 hours gives you way more than just 4 hours, especially if combined with WFH,” the post author added.
Such an arrangement may also help the economy, as it could “generate more footfall at off-peak hours” and bring about “more overall spending.” The post author even added that with this arrangement, “fewer people at peak hour to complain when the trains inevitably break down again.” Some of the most popular comments, however, touched on Singapore’s work culture as a whole, with some saying that shortening the work week would be unnecessary if employees did not have to work at all during weekends and if they were not expected to continue working after official working hours.
