Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted January 22, 2023 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 22, 2023 Local township went to a 4 day work week. 4-10's either Mon-Thur or Tues-Fri, rotated every 2 weeks. So now the township office is at half staff 2 days out of the week....lol These people couldn't get shit done when they were working 5 days a week. This kind of talk is hard to understand when you've been working 60 hours or more per week for most of your life. In my business, we have had a hard time hiring new people or getting people to stay. The wife says I need to split the shifts. Hire people to work 30 hours per week but to hire 2 people for each position. It don't work that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I’m glad you are following her and happy that you’re in tune with what the younger people are giggling about. The problem is that while her schtick makes you tingly it’s a common atittude among those her age.

The wife says I need to split the shifts. Hire people to work 30 hours per week but to hire 2 people for each position. It don't work that way. We've had potential hires ask what start and finish times are, concrete. It's unique because it can't just be dropped off at a jobsite and left, like a skd of lumber. A short day is 7-5, you almost think you're getting off early at only a 10hr day. Most walk out the door, or start and hope t's not true only to have their hopes crushed. It's a vicious cycle. Can't find people to do the hours, so those that do work have to work longer and harder.' They burn out and it get's worse. The 2 shifts idea has been floated and has merit, especially for those with family obligations. It will make things cost more. More and more HR and management are "forced" into considering it. Human rights violations can cost a company large and it's a field full of hidden landmines. 10 years ago it was just simply "no, get someone else to pick up your kid:" Edited January 22, 2023 by Voodoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holy fuck are you a god damned fucking moron So I'm mistaken. There is no system that allows someone to never work a day in their life, pump out kids with no fathers, yet still survive, sometimes with more creature comforts than a person working a hard, demanding occupation. I'd thought I'd read that or observed it somewhere. Guess not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example, you're/your working on an assembly line that moves at a controlled speed. Let's say your/you're the wheel and tire installer at a Chevrolet plant, you install the combo on 10 cars/hr., how are you going to equal the 400 units in 32 hrs. when the line moves at a constant speed of 10 per hour. I'm sure if they speed the line up the union will get involved. Little help Bohica please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if they are required to get the same amount of work done. The global study proves that many professions and individuals can get the same work done in 32 that they can in 40. Work life balance is a great motivator it appears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is that a little trait called human nature gets in the way. Not saying that some jobs COULD DO the work in 32 but no way will it be consistent. Especially with the mindset of many caused by Covid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the 40 hour work week became standard the work weeks were much longer. Society, business, and innovation didn’t stop or even slow down when 40 hour work weeks became the standard. Same if it went to 32. Edited January 22, 2023 by BOHICA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
