Open to Debate · Is America Ready for a Four-Day Work Week? · 4 Sep 2026 podcast

Thank you, Juliette. voice-verified

A very strong prediction within a decade. voice-verified

But Joanne, you are a skeptic. voice-verified

Please tell us why you take the position the four-day workweek. voice-verified

America is not ready for it yet. voice-verified

Thank you, Joanne. voice-verified

Okay, Joanne and Juliet, we've heard your opening statements. voice-verified

There are a lot of points to your arguments, and I'd like to work through them bit by bit, but let me tell you what I'm hearing. voice-verified

First, Juliet, I hear you saying that the trend towards a four-day workweek is approaching fast. voice-verified

You say within 10 years, which is... voice-verified

very, very bold statement to make. voice-verified

But you're also pointing out that in some places it's already here, that there are hundreds of companies experimenting with it. voice-verified

Your data shows that of those companies that are experimenting with it, 90% are sticking with it. voice-verified

You're saying it's happening because we all want it. voice-verified

Workers want it. voice-verified

A younger generation is more focused on, say, life-work balance than on careers. voice-verified

At least that's the sense of the culture. voice-verified

That's the vibe. voice-verified

And voice-verified

that also these companies themselves are beginning to learn that their workers can be just as productive in less time than with more time, that that's been borne out actually over decades. voice-verified
