The Argument For a Four-Day Workweek—Exactly What to Pitch To Your Boss

Are we operating on a five-day, 40-hour schedule for a good reason? Is 40 the magic number due to tons of studies and data? Are we actually working 40 hours a week or much more?

On this episode, we are joined by Career Contessa’s Content Director, Caileen Holden, to discuss the pros and cons of a shorter work week + how to ask your boss to switch to a 4-day work week.  Weekly Newsletter Sign-Up: http://bit.ly/37hqtQW Follow Career Contessa: http://bit.ly/2TMH2QP   Power Moves: https://amzn.to/2X1EQWZ  Ask Your Boss For Anything: https://bit.ly/3hRnaYs 4 Day Work Week: https://bit.ly/2V0ImCk Kill The 5 Day Work Week: https://bit.ly/2TnoUPN Productivity Powerhouse: https://bit.ly/3g22VGS Sponsors: Ana Luisa: https://bit.ly/3rm0vXs Safety Wing: https://bit.ly/34TV1sr Produced by Dear Media.
