Official1-Integrated Writing——Working 4 days a week

The passage advocates that a four-day workweek is supposed to bring benefits to the company profits, economic conditions and individual livelihood. However, the lecture vigorously asserted against the opinion that the four-day workweek will make everything better.
To begin with, the shortened workweek won’t impact company profits in the ways indicated by the passage. Recruiting more staff doesn’t ought to cut down expenses. Actually, the company is very likely to spend more on adapting to this method. Training and medical benefits for fresh employees takes enormous funding, not to mention the money that would be used for providing more computers and more office space.
Besides, there is no guarantee that unemployment rates will be reversed. There are two logically possible outcomes. One is that employers may show higher expectations and demand employees to be so efficient that they can complete five days’ work within four days. The other is that employees would be required to work overtime to make up the difference.
Last but not least, more free time and a better life would not be secured for individuals. As this new workweek may create a lot of risks. Four-day workers are faced with higher risks of being dismissed during an economic depression, which surely does harm to work stability. Additional, being presented with promotion opportunities, four-day workers may be recognized as inferior candidates to five-day workers.
