Four day work
The topic of the reading passage is on four-day week work policy. The author supports the four-day work giving three supporting factors. But in the lecture, professor speaks against it and provide reasons for his opinion by refuting the points provided in the passage.
First of all passage states that four-day work policy may increase the profits, because it will reduce work load on employees and they feel more rest which results in reduce stress and work efficiency. Another is companies only need to pay 80% of the wage. But professor argues against this and state that it will increase the cost. This policy demands more workers, which require more office space and computers. And the training programs and health insurances for new employees will cut the profit.
Secondly passage states that the unemployment will reduce under the four-day work. Because employers need to hire more workers to cover the reduce work per week. But in the lecture, it is pointed out that this is not true and this depends on employers expectations. After the policy companies may expect workers to work overtime to cover their work. Therefore, there will be no new hires.
Last point is about the free time employees get. Reading states that they will get a free time and they can use them to spend time with families and be in leisurely. But professor sees this free time can harm the employee’s career. Companies may give priority for five day workers over four day workers when getting promotions, assigning management responsibilities. Because of this, it can reduce the quality of the life of four day workers.
As the conclusions, it is clear that reading passage supports the four-day work week policy under three facts. In the lecture professor points out weaknesses in those and suggest four day work policy might not give the expected advantages.
