„On Wednesday, 1 April 2026, the cantons of Western Switzerland announced their most ambitious labor market reform in decades under the regional initiative “Work West 4.0.” The measure, developed by human-centered organizational design consultants, reduces the standard working week to four days with a proportional reduction in weekly hours and no impact on salary. The Office for Temporal Equity and Workplace Flourishing will oversee compliance.“
The mandatory four-day work week for all, will be effective from the 1st January 2027
Jealous
I hate this fucking first of April. That’s just stupid.
This sounds really cool! The link didn’t go into it, but how would this be financed? They talk about giving Fridays back to the population, with the same salary. Are local businesses fine losing a full business day each week? Who or what covers that lack in revenue? Especially smaller business, I guess.
Its not really a joke, we would do this!
It shows it is an organisation targeting foreign investors and large companies.
They are in such a bubble of wealthy CEOs that they treat a perfectly sensible idea as an Aprils fools joke.
In a country as rich and productive as Switzerland, why can’t some of this productivity not result in more leasure time for employees.
Even if they did, corporations will find salary loopholes.
They should actually do this instead of joking. Also what a weird thing to joke about.
