Reply to comment by Krash412 in Firms stick to four-day week after trial ends by blitz9999

We used to have 6 work days and this hasn't happened yet. So there's little reason to think it would now.

What's worse is that unlike back then, quite a few white collar jobs feel like they're not just 7 day jobs but on-call 24/7 jobs.

Now we have 7 day weeks, really. That or short hours split across all times and days of the week, but just few enough hours to avoid paying certain benefits.

That's the tech company low paid contractor(eg. Uber driver) and just-in-time employment of the present.

Some people are still on 5 day weeks... Outside of answer emails on the weekend and the like, but that's not the only experience, and certainly not where jobs have been trending
