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

But, Joanne, let me, so let's take one more round on this question of the competitive disadvantage in regard to customers. voice-verified

After hearing Juliet say, the companies are aware of this problem, they're figuring out ways to deal with it. voice-verified

Does that give that point to Juliet, or do you stand your ground on that? voice-verified

I want to bring a question to you, Juliette, that is inspired. voice-verified

My question is inspired by Joanne talking about how complex things would be in trying to shift our culture, which is now built into five days, into four days. voice-verified

And I'm thinking of school. voice-verified

People go to school five days a week. voice-verified

Would teachers now only have to work four days a week? voice-verified

And does that mean children would only go to school four days a week? voice-verified

And if they don't, and they're still going five days a week, but their parents are on a four-day-a-week schedule, how does that all work out? voice-verified

If you take an example of something where the five days is really, really baked in for a variety of other reasons, including educational achievement, voice-verified

What about that complexity of having to make that sort of transition? voice-verified

Fair enough. voice-verified

So, Joanne, Juliet critiqued the presumption of my question that the five-day week is baked in, which is totally fine. voice-verified

Juliet, you get to critique my question. voice-verified

But more importantly, it's critiquing the assumption that you're making that the five-day week is really, really baked into society. voice-verified

So I'd like you to defend that point. voice-verified

Okay, so the two of you simply disagree on that. voice-verified

I don't want to go any further on it, but we hear how you've staked out your positions. voice-verified

We have a short period of time in which I want to do what we call a lightning round, in which we ask you very briefly to address a question. voice-verified
