See yes this would be a great compromise! Of course it’s up to each individual company but it’s a great compromise
My opinion still stands no matter what. That’s the beauty of this platform. I hope you have the day you deserve !
I like the idea, it sounds nice. Might not be realistic for a lot of people, but it does sound nice!

FYI, Elon and Vivek are putting out the call for people to join the DOGE who will work 80 hours a week for ZERO pay. If you think for one second that something this inane, this oppositional to the very creation of this platform, will be * a thing* whilst we as a nation are in the depths of a labor shortage so big that we can’t get medicines, you’re absolutely wackadoo to a degree that is certifiable. You have zero concept of reality.

Hi again Michelle, I love your passion to help the Country reform and you’d be surprised how much we’d agree on. My feelings are not the one of concern here, your aggressive nature towards my comment shows me I was right to call out the comment. 
I believe the goal of America for this administration and We The People is to have a part in better reforming our country for the better of the people and to unite each and every one of us. I love free speech and if you’d like to yell at me again because I’m voicing my opinion go ahead, it won’t hurt my feelings one bit. Take care

Yeah- go move to Russia. PLEASE. We are DONE with socialists sucking up money and air, acting like the supply chain is a privilege not a necessity. So go do your little communist trick elsewhere. We have voted you out. People are FED UP with the likes of you, who want to sit around on your arses playing video games and being paid activists (lobbyist) for complete BS causes. 
And honestly, this is a luxury cause. You are such a privileged little man to have the time and energy to devote to complete BS, that your lack of self-awareness is just astonishing. 
Oh, and thanks so much for the support of a stupid idea that creates MORE bureaucracy instead of less. Not what this platform is for. You are stuck in a 2022, dude. Time to wake the F up.
I can’t get my cancer meds because THERE IS A LABOR SHORTAGE AND LAZY PEOPLE LIKE YOU, WHO WANT TO SIT AROUND AND PLAY VIDEO GAMES ALL DAY OR GET PAID TO PROTEST A FULL WORKWEEK WHILE COLLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT WHILE THE REST OF US ARE BURDENED WITH YOUR LACK OF GRASPING REALITY ARE JUST REVULSED. Absolutely reviled by your arrogance, your ignorance, and your complete lack of understanding what people are dealing with, and your gross 
privilege. Buck up cupcake! Your pity party has ended. No more luxury causes for you.
How much anger and assumptions you throw around is funny. Aren’t you the one telling people to get out of their feelings? Look at yourself.

You’re not okay, seek out help.
Please Michelle, I don’t even know you and I am concerned for you. I’m sorry for whatever you’re going through. This thread is not a place to air out your dirty feelings over something completely unrelated and uncalled for. Seek help, seek somebody to talk to. Best of luck.

I love the idea of a 32 hour work week.
We should not mandate that it be “four days” though --give employers and employees the flexibility to decide how to spread out the 32 hours.
As a mom, I would have loved working 6 hours a day, five days a week, and then getting early to let the babysitter go home/pick up the kids after school. An 8 hour day forces you to have a babysitter (or the grandma) do a ten hour shift, because you have to add in your travel time and lunch time.
32 hour week bills are still controversial and unlikely to pass a GOP trifecta, but still worthy to keep pushing the discussion forward, to give it a try; I have seen a federal one and a state one in CA proposed but they never made it past a committee for an actual floor vote. Many businesses oppose the idea because it increases their over-head costs, forces them to accommodate more employees.
I have also suggested similar ideas, coupling paid family leave with an option to request 8 hours unpaid intermittent time off weekly for certain FMLA-eligible employees only. My proposal is also likely too liberal for Trump, too, but hey just throwing this out there, because I truly believe in it:
Federal Paid Maternal Leave, Unpaid Intermittent leave & College flexibility

Doesn’t matter how the 32 hours are distributed, the same underlying problems are still going to be there.
