Young adults are throwing their support behind calls for a four-day workweek.

new national survey from CNBC/Generation Lab of 1,033 people aged 18 to 34 found that an overwhelming 81% of respondents believe a four-day workweek would boost their company’s productivity, while 19% said productivity would decline.

Those results from the “Youth & Money in the USA” survey come amid discussions around the potential benefits of switching from the standard five-day U.S. workweek to a four-day cadence without a pay cut.

Some companies have begun testing the arrangement, and say it has mitigated employee burnout and strengthened business performance.

    Wow who would’ve thought that spending less time slaving away for unfair wages would boost productivity? Crazy.

    Spending 5 days dedicated to serve a company just to barely survive and then only 2 days free from the bullshit and then back at it for another 5 fucking days is just completely insane. It’s miraculous to me that more people don’t go insane from the pointlessness of it all.
