Transcripts

Speaker A:

It's haystack and for most people it's a four day work week after the holiday weekend.

Speaker A:

And one expert recently said in an interview that he thinks that AI won't replace human labor, but what it would do would reduce the average work week to three, three and a half days a week.

Speaker A:

Said it could happen within the next couple of decades.

Speaker A:

It's the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, Jamie Dimon said that he thinks hey I will make it a three and a half day work week.

Speaker A:

So maybe you work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and go in for a half day on Thursday, something like that.

Speaker A:

Now it's not again it's not imminent but it sounds pretty great.

Speaker A:

I mean three and a half on, three and a half off, that's some work life balance I could get behind for sure.

Speaker A:

So I wanted to celebrate a short week.

Speaker A:

Maybe this can last forever.

Speaker B:

Weeks are so much better.

Speaker B:

Short weeks have got less pressure.

Speaker B:

Short weeks have got just four days of work.

Speaker B:

They got fewer meetings, fewer calls, fewer emails from my stupid boss.

Speaker B:

It's got fewer hours in this cubicle seat.

Speaker B:

By tomorrow night I'll be halfway through the week.

Speaker B:

Will I just look of those long weekends.

Speaker B:

Three days of work freedom.

Speaker B:

Wish I had short weeks all year.

Won't it be great if we can get to that.
