TOEFL integrated writing work a four day week

The reading and the lecture are both about shortened workweek. However, from their contexts, it can be stated that the lecture brings into question the points in the reading passage. The author of the text claims that a mandatory police to stablish the option of a four-day workweek would be beneficial to the companies and employees. The lecturer completely refutes the arguments in the article, hence, arguing that the explanations to support this idea are faulty.

Firstly, it is stated by the lecturer that by adopting the shortened workweek the company will be forced to spend more money, since the company should hire more employees to complete to job. This will generate an increase in general company costs like those spent in training and medical insurance. Furthermore, more computer and office spaces will be required, leading to an extra enhancement on costs. This directly contradicts the reading passage that denotes that the shortened workweek will certainly reduce the amount of costs, including cost errors, andalso will increase the profit.

Secondly, the lecturer safely assumes that a terrible thing may happen that is that the company could ask or expect the employees do the same amount of job in only four days. This will turn the job very unpleasant, which could lead to an increase in unemployement. This idea strongly contrasts with the article that mentions that the reduced workweek would diminish the unemployment rates.

Finally, the lecturer believes that the extra time given by this new workweek could impair the job stability and diminish the chances that an four-day employee has to get a promotion or which is worts it could increase their chances to loose their jobs. The text, on the other hand, states that this free time may improve emploee´s quality of life by them being able to have more leisure and rest time with family.
