New research suggests a four-day week may be gaining mainstream momentum in corporate Canada as workplaces continue to fine tune post-pandemic schedules and working conditions.

found 91 per cent of senior managers polled say they support a four-day work week for their team.

It found the majority of managers also anticipate their company will transition to a shorter working week within the next five years. The poll also found nearly three-quarters of workers would put in four 10-hour days in exchange for an extra day off a week. Mike Shekhtman, senior regional director with Robert Half, says a shorter work week could help with employee recruitment and retention.

He says giving workers the option to work a four-day week and the autonomy to create their own schedule could also boost morale and productivity.

A thriving society only need 15% of the citizens working to have a thriving social structure. The 85% are left to play the role of tourists and hobbiests. Bots are the workers in the 'factories' and 'heavy industries'.

Naturally, Lets keep pandering to the pathetic!

Quebec taking dwindling share of immigrants to Canada, according to new dataIn 2022, Quebec brought in roughly 15.7% of the immigrants to Canada, despite the province representing nearly 23% of Canada’s population So the French are racist? .... just wondering what the narrative is today... any help?
