Earlier this month, writer, editor, and podcaster merritt k asked Twitter if it's possible that working full time leaves you with making too many sacrifices, and it looks like many people have been asking themselves the same question because, in just a few days, the woman's tweet received over 257K likes and was flooded with answers.

In 2016, nearly half (44 percent) of working adults said that their job affects their overall health, but only 28 percent of those believe that effect is a good one. People with disabilities, in dangerous or low-paying jobs, and those in retail are most likely to say their job has a negative impact on their stress levels (43 percent), eating habits (28 percent), sleeping patterns (27 percent) and weight (22 percent), according to a survey from the Harvard T.H.

First of all, evidence suggests that putting in more hours each week doesn't necessarily equate to higher productivity, in fact, research tells us that productivity drops sharply after grinding 50 hours per week, and falls off a cliff after 55 hours. Plus, not taking at least one full day off per week lowers our hourly output overall. Overwork can also take a huge toll on our health.

View more comments As a result, a number of companies worldwide have implemented the four-day workweek and Japan's government has recommended it as national policy. It isn't a new idea, but the concept seems to have come under greater consideration since the pandemic has generated a broad reevaluation of how we work, including a greater work-from-home migration and hybrid office arrangements. The four-day workweek, ideally, should come with no loss in productivity, pay, or benefits.

Depending on the company and the industry, everyone might work Monday through Thursday and have Fridays off but there are other possibilities, including allowing each employee to choose their extra day off or having a company-wide policy of a different third day off, such as Monday or Wednesday. #7 interestingdan Report Final score: 101points POST Myr Lopez Myr Lopez Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Hiding some comments that are ...

As for farm families, the farm wife worked as as her husband - canning, weaving, looking after chickens, vegetable patch etc. She often worked in the fields especially if the kids weren’t old enough to help. Yes, she tended the babies but that was on top of everything else and older kids were drafted to do that by around age 5 or 6.

View more comments A lot of companies have tried this practice but one of the biggest tests comes from Iceland. Roughly 1 percent of the country's working population was involved in a set of trials of shorter workweeks for equal pay, which ran for several years starting in 2015. "The trials were successful," concluded a recent research report on the experiment."

View more comments One disadvantage reported in Iceland's experiments was that it was more challenging for managers to schedule group activities like training days or goodbye parties for departing staff.

"By working fewer days per week, employees who already feel disconnected from their employer, team, or manager are more likely to drift even farther away - from tolerating their jobs to hating them," Gallup's Jim Harter and Ryan Pendell stated. That's especially important for companies that worry about worker retention.

Its just not possible to 'have it all'. 14 14points reply Crystal R Crystal R Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 10 months ago Being single and having any disposable income today is a dream. I can't afford any of the apartments around me, especially at minimum wage.

The cheapest apartment (and it looks it too, roaches, regular bedbugs and gunshots y'know) would take 82 hour weeks at minimum wage. You need a car to get there as well, and sometimes you do need to eat.i would love to live alone and not have to clean up after other people, share things I buy etc, but it's literally not possible.

lenka lenka Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago Yes, admittedly, this was in Australia more than 10 years ago, and I wasn't on minimum wage. It was a crappy apartment but I chose a crappy apartment because the low rent meant I had lifestyle choice.

I appreciate that now that is an unspoken luxury. I am really sorry for millenials and genZ.

1 1point reply Martha Meyer Martha Meyer Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago The 40 hour work week came about when poor families ALL worked, women and little children included, in back-breaking factory jobs and similarly awful occupations. They simply lived in squalor and never got enough sleep or ANY free time.

14 14points reply Nora AlMeida Nora AlMeida Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago The key for this situation is to do two things only per day. So a person can go to work and clean the house/flat on Monday; go to work and spend actual quality time with loved ones or at least check up on them on Tuesday; spend time on a hobby on Wednesday plus go to work, etc.

ThatOneWriter ThatOneWriter Community Member • points posts comments upvotes 10 months ago And that's if you can manage it. I can't work every other day or spend 5-6 days working and cleaning on those days or working and spending time with family, then rearranging on the remaining days.

If I don't clean, nobody does and as the wife of a teacher, that's not my husband being lazy, that's my husband's job loading him up with so much work I either take over everything else or he has mental breakdowns. And that's if he doesn't have a breakdown anyway.
