Working four days a week is better than working five days a week in the United States? (TOEFL) (HI! I GUESS THIS TEXT CONTAINS POOR VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR, SO I'LL BE GLAD IF YOU CAN HELP ME. THANKS IN ADVANCE!) In the United States, workers generally must work five days per week and eight hours per day, but some of the workers prefer working less (only four days per week) with a less payment (80 percent). The text agree with it, but the professor on the lecture disagree. The text defends that the companies will spend less money, but during the lecture the professor defends that they will have to spend more money, because they have to add new workers, consequently there are more people to pay health insurance and other benefits. Also, they will need more office space and new computers for the new employees. Second, maybe the companies will create more expectations about the other workers, which work five days a week. They will have to work more and it could be unpleasant for them, doing the work that the other person could not complete during their four days. The other worker will be rested and alert for sure, but how about the others workers? Finally, The text defends that they will have more free time to spend with their families and hobbies, but it can be a risk for their jobs. Probably they could not be chosen for promotions, because it is better if the supervisor stay for five days a week. Also, if the company have to eliminate employees, probably the workers with four days a week can be the first choice.
