    What you need are good laws, not so much a 4 day work week. I just go to the doctor during office hours and tell my employer I have to go. I even get paid time off for it, like everyone else working in this country. Same for the dentist or any other kind of medical thing.

    Sure, it’s not always optimal if you work in some sort of shift, but they are required to make sure you can go.

    By the way, not that I wouldn’t appreciate a 4 day work week, but this seems like a bit of a stretch to say that this is the reason why you would need one.

      Yup. This is the way.

      But I live and work in the US which means I have no paid days off at all and even if I tell them I have something to do they can call me to tell me to work and be upset if I don’t immediately come to the aid.

      I really wish we just believed in reasonable work life balance but I will accept a shorter work week but that’s just gonna go to the upper classes only again.
