????? Ever wished your weekend started a day early? You're not alone, but there are also opponents of the four-day working week. Find out more in this video ?? https://sohub.io/citr The four-day working week debate is making waves, and it’s not just about getting more time off – it’s about working smarter, feeling better and staying more productive. But after a pilot study with 45 companies in Germany, not everyone is convinced: longer daily workhours, a loss of flexibility and troubles with customer contact are some of the reasons cited by employees and companies that decided against a shorter working week. In the end, however, most participants opted to stay with the four-day week after the trial period. ???? Curious about the surprising results? Watch the full video! ???
