Very interesting Dale! The whole debate goes a lot further than time and work. Maith thú!

[@dilkiawaaj4290]

yes , we should have to focus on our individuality, in place of team work.

I don’t make enough money to survive working 1 job. A 4 day work week would interfere with my second and third jobs. I work 85 hours per week average. Hopefully that never touches any of my jobs or I’ll have to go elsewhere.

Dr Dale speaks about a 4 day work week where you work 80% of the time you worked before but you get 100% of the pay.

In theory, this approach would allow you to make the same amount of money, working the same jobs, in 68 hours instead of 85 hours.
