    Obviously doesn’t work if everyone goes to a 4 day week. But I actually think a standard 4 day week with 1-to-2 day/week part time work available is a good “form factor” for work.

    When I was younger I had multiple jobs at the same time but it was awful working super long days or 7 days in a week. When I began to feel financially comfortable with my full time job I quit the other job and had more free time. I’m glad I took my younger years grinding to set myself up to work less later.

    I know the ideal scenario is the 4 days pay enough for everyone but realistically some people will need multiple jobs and ideally we could formalize it as the not-so-bad version of multiple jobs and have it be a time in someone’s life rather than a permanent feature of the working poor.
