Both reading and listening discussing pros and cons of the four-day week. The author of the reading states how decreasing the number of business days can be beneficial. However, the lecturer challenges the points that are made in article and believes that it is not a good proposal.
According to the passage, the shortened workweek can increase the number of mistakes that employees make. In order to solve the problem, companies should hire four-day employees, who prevent such mistakes due to the point that they are rested and ale. The lecturer casts doubt on this point and he says that Hiring more staff costs a lot because the company has to spend money for training new employees, provide medical services for them and buying new tools for them to work.
Second, based on the reading, making workweek short would reduce unemployment rates since that If many full-time staff started working fewer hours, some of their workload would have to be shifted to others and as a result, new employee should be hired. Nevertheless, the professor rebuts this claim and illustrate that hiring new worker is costly. It is not a rational idea to catch more staff. The current workers could make up the remain works if they overwork throughout the business days.
Third, the reading states how four-day workweek would be helpful for individual employees. Whereas, the listening demonstrates that this option may decrease the quality of their lives because it can result in higher possibility of loosing job. Moreover, it takes the opportunity to advance in their career. Additionally, companies tend to have some people who work five days a week as managers to make sure that they are able to manage both their tasks and those of their teams.
