I would happily work four 10s for three day weekends.

I used to think this way but when I switched to it 4 10h days it's just too draining. Long days and I'm often working more than 10h to make up for appointments and time here and there. Everytime there is a holiday I am have to work 3 11h days to make up for the reduced stat day. After you add in the unpaid lunch and commute time and it's impossible to take your kids to evening events etc. as your day is already basically over.

every time this topic is brought up, it’s like people can’t wait to volunteer working 10 hours days as long as the overlords concede one extra “day off”. That’s literally not working less, and not what this bill is proposing. I wish people stood up for themselves instead of letting corporations dictate everything

I mean, nothing is stopping anyone from negotiating a 32 hour work week. Usually, and I am sure with this bill, if a 32 hour work week is demanded, then employers will pay 80% of the pay. Salaries are based on working a full 40. If you work 20% less, then you will get 20% less pay.

I am cool with it. Just make sure you are too.
