The 4 day work week likely won't be established as the standard until Socialism is achieved and the bourgeoisie overthrown, but when that happens it will depend on the job and sector, likely working with different shifts to maintain 24/7 production but with lower workload. Probably a move to a 30 hour work-week, like what PSL suggests.

Don't be so cynical!

The 4 day work week could be established under capitalism so it's easier to have two fulltime jobs. ๐Ÿ’€

I hate that you're right...

Nah we'll move to a three day work week but America will require you to work a minimum of 48 hours to qualify as full time.

But working multiple jobs is cheating on your employer
