The reading and the lecture are both about four days employees. The author of the reading believes that it would be advantageous not only for workers but also for companies. The lecturer casts doubt on the claims made in the article. He thinks that it will not be beneficial.
First of all, the author points out that giving four days for employers can enhance the company’s budget. It is mentioned that workers would receive 80 percent of previous payment and, hence, the economy would be improved. This point is challenged by the lecturer. He says that paying less for four-day employs will not help but will harm the income because more employers mean more medical help should be provided. Furthermore, he argues that the company would need to spend more money for more computers and offices.
Secondly, the author contends that less unemployment would be in the country with four days work because more additional workers would be needed. The lecturer rebuts this argument. He suggests that the company would instead push workers to work the same amount of tasks as it was previously.
Finally, the author states that employees would have more time to spend it with their friends and family. The article establishes that it would improve their lives and make it happier. The lecturer, on the other hand, posits that it would reduce their quality of life because they have the risk to lose their job during the economic crisis. She puts forth the idea that the company would instead save five days workers.
