▶ Your Answer :
The reading passage contends that offering
employees the option to work a four-day work week for 80 percent of the normal
pay will benefit the whole economy. On the other hand, the lecturer brings up
several points that contradict this argument.
First of all, the lecturer questions the
validity of the point in the reading passage that it would increase company
profit to offer employees the option of working a four-day. It is true that the
shortened work time helps the workers to increase efficiency. However, if the
more workers were newly hired, the more training program, the more space to
work and the more computers would be needed. Thus, the reading passage's first
point is contradicted
Moreover, the lecturer casts doubt on the
point made by the reading passage that providing the option of working a
four-day workweek would reduce the unemployment rates. This is because the
company will be reluctant to hire new workers as it is not economical. Also, the company will expect the employers
to work as hard as they used to. This would not be helpful to increase the
number of job. In addition, this would decrease the satisfaction of their job
at the same time. Consequently, the reading passage's second point is invalid.
Last but not least, the lecturer disagrees
with the point made in the reading passage that four-day employees' quality of
lives would increase. It is true that shortened work time would ensure them a
private rest time, but it has a risk too. The option of work four-day would
harm their advancing careers because the companies tend to promote employees
who can work continuously. As a result, with such reasoning, the reading
passage's final point is reputed.
