For most salaried workers, this would just mean that they work longer hours in those three days and then still work the other days as employers see an opportunity to take advantage of the “long weekends” to get stuff done
Fat chance, Slim
That’s how you provide room for a larger underclass, to serve as slave labor and eternal dependence on the gov’t dole.
That’s the wonderful thing about Capitalism. If Carlos Slim wants to put his workers on a schedule of three 13 hour days, he can.
The problem with this for a lot of people is that their work involves reacting to others and can’t be neatly fit into a limited number of days. If you work Monday through Wednesday and someone calls you with a crisis on Thursday, you can’t wait until the next Monday to handle it.
It would take a Mexican to teach us about manana
I work 10-11 hour days already and plan to work past 70, anyway. 5 or 6 days a week.
That is he's great as long as he and the other Mexican oligarchs have the dumb docile tax-paying American middle class accepting millions of his economic basket case compatriots.
That's our role, according to old Carlos, putting the Mexican underclass on our tab, not his. Hint: Why not develop Mexico, or is that our job, too?
I doubt that Slim earned and is currently mananaging his fortune on a three day week schedule....
H’mmm, Does he say how much longer an hour should be? 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes?
The chances of that happening are slim to none and Slim isn’t in the country.
good for him....I don’t want to work an 11 or 12 hour day to get four days off. I spend the first day or two recuperating and then can get things done. Just because he wants to work all of his life is fine. Just don’t insist that I do so also. I planned for retirement so I could do some of my hobbies and volunteer in my community.
I really hate how the oligarch class wnts to tell me how I should live
So why hasn’t he implemented this for his employees yet
I work 12 hour rotating shifts. So this would be nothing new to me.
I’m all for encouraging everyone to work four 10s.
