I’m a boss and I say we should work less
Sou chefe e digo que deveríamos trabalhar menos
David Goldman
►If there’s one thing the pandemic taught us all it’s that work is tiring whether we’re doing it from the office or from home.
Se há uma coisa que a pandemia nos ensinou é que o trabalho é cansativo, quer o façamos no escritório ou em casa.
►Unproductive jobs led millions of people to drop out of the workforce altogether and a record number of Americans have quit their jobs because of burnout, low pay, childcare and eldercare.
Empregos improdutivos levaram milhões de pessoas a abandonar completamente a força de trabalho e um número recorde de americanos abandonaram os seus empregos devido ao esgotamento, aos baixos salários, aos cuidados infantis e aos idosos.
►To entice people back into the job market, employers have increased payment.
Para incentivar as pessoas a voltarem ao mercado de trabalho, os empregadores aumentaram os salários.
►However, inflation has wiped that away and it hasn’t worked.
No entanto, a inflação eliminou isso e não funcionou.
►So here’s a crazy solution: let people work less.
Então aqui está uma solução maluca: deixar as pessoas trabalharem menos.
►I know, it sounds radical, but workers are really into the idea and they are more productive.
Eu sei, parece radical, mas os trabalhadores estão realmente interessados na ideia e são mais produtivos.
►For the past eight weeks, thousands of people in the United Kindgom have tested a four-day schedule - with no cut to their pay.
Nas últimas oito semanas, milhares de pessoas no Reino Unido testaram um horário de quatro dias – sem qualquer corte nos seus salários.
►Unsurprisingly, some workers have said they feel happier, healthier and are doing better in their jobs.
Não é de surpreender que alguns trabalhadores disseram que se sentem mais felizes, mais saudáveis e que têm um desempenho melhor no seu trabalho.
►In 1930, the economist John Maynard Keynes predicted we would be working 15-hour weeks by 2030, with hours in the office reducing over time.
Em 1930, o economista John Maynard Keynes previu que estaríamos trabalhando 15 horas semanais até 2030, com horas no escritório diminuindo com o tempo.
►However, a 9 to 5, Monday to Friday shift became the norm and over time it became hard for businesses and workers to think differently.
No entanto, um turno das 9h às 17h, de segunda a sexta-feira, tornou-se a norma e, com o tempo, tornou-se difícil para as empresas e os trabalhadores pensarem de forma diferente.
►You can present your boss all the data you want, but it’s unlikely you’re going to have success convincing management that the way to increase productivity and solve the labor shortage is to give everyone Friday off - forever.
Você pode apresentar ao seu chefe todos os dados que quiser, mas é improvável que tenha sucesso em convencer a administração de que a maneira de aumentar a produtividade e resolver a escassez de mão de obra é dar folga a todos na sexta-feira - para sempre.
