While I would personally love a four day work week, there's are issues around this that make me think that this has to be done at least nationwide.

Lots of people here work for companies that are from out of state. The people that manage those companies may not agree with this (whether justified or not, that's not the issue). That would mean those companies might avoid hiring people in Vermont and might avoid having offices or facilities in Vermont.

I agree. I have been working remotely for years. My last job search, I was qualified and the recruiter wanted me, but the client would not hire anyone in Vermont. That was the first time that had happened. It got me thinking: is this a sign of the future?

So, I agree. Best to push at the national level.

Did they say why?

Maybe you dodged a bullet.

I mean more likely than not you would still be working a 5 day work week if you work at an out of state company. When you are full time salary there isn't really an enforcement for how many days you work.
