We all know South Cambs District Council's 4-day week works. What Local Authority Leaders need to know now is: How did they do it? What was the impact? and How can we do it too? To answer those questions, we’ve condensed all the key data into one brand-new, easy-to-read document. Read it below ⬇️

Nobody on their deathbed ever wished they spent more time with their spreadsheets. We all need more time for our families, our friends, and our lives outside work. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Great to see your belief in the 4-day week, @darrenpjones.bsky.social We both know that AI won’t “let us” have a 4-day week by magic though - action is required to make it happen. Government-backed trials would go a long way here. 👀

It’s Friday. The majority of us should have started our weekend already.* (*some people might prefer Wednesdays off - it takes all sorts.) It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

When companies switch to a 4-day week, employee resignations drop. Turnover costs. Retention pays for itself. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Parents with young children experience higher rates of burnout. A 4-day week gives working parents a chance to find some balance without sacrificing their income, or their career. If we want a society where parents can function, then it’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Advances in technology have made us exponentially more productive over the last 100 years. These productivity gains should buy back time, not just stack more tasks. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Fantastic to see “progress towards a 4-day working week” in the @pcsunion.bsky.social list of demands. It’s time to win a 4-day week! ⏰

Imagine having one day dedicated to errands, appointments and admin, so your weekend is actually spent relaxing. That's the power of a 4-day week. 🪫➡️🔋

4 Day Week Foundation @4dayweek.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Chronic stress destroys creativity and decision-making. That’s bad for workers 𝘢𝘯𝘥 employers. Giving workers a shorter working week produces clearer minds and fewer costly errors. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

4 Day Week Foundation @4dayweek.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

How about we aim for the kind of AI that gives us all a 4-day week, instead of the one that has a ~10% chance of destroying us all? Just a thought.

4 Day Week Foundation @4dayweek.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

We used to work 6 days a week. Then technology advanced. So we worked 5 days a week. Now, technology has advanced much, much further. So it’s time to work a 4-day week. ⏰

4 Day Week Foundation @4dayweek.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Rested employees don’t burnout. Respected employees don’t job-hop. If you’re an employer planning for long-term success - it’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

4 Day Week Foundation @4dayweek.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It’s an equity issue. The 4-day week can reduce childcare costs, spread domestic labour, and help caregivers and disabled people manage full-time work more easily. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Stuck at work, clock-watching, randomly clicking tabs until it’s time to go? Fridays don’t have to be like this. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Your regular reminder that the 5-day week is not a law of nature. We made it (100 years ago!), and we can just as easily change it. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

Flexible working is useful, but without reduced hours it’s just doing your job in your downtime and answering emails in bed. Flexible AND reduced hours are where the true benefits lie. It’s time for a flexible 4-day week. ⏰

4 Day Week Foundation @4dayweek.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

The proliferation of AI would be a lot easier to accept if we could actually see some benefits. What we’ve got: disappearing entry-level jobs. What we need: a 4-day week for all.

Wired - it’s a Bank Holiday! Tired - Next one’s not till Christmas. 😮‍💨 Inspired - we should have an extra day off EVERY week. (and some people already do - it’s called a 4-day week and it’s time we all had one!)

The 4-day working week should be the norm. Especially left wing/socialist political parties should be advocating for this now.

We got rid of the 6-day week 100 years ago. Now, it’s time to ditch the 5-day week.

Clickbait-ey headline notwithstanding, this is a good long read on the state of the working week, but the conclusion lacks agency. “The weekend will keep changing, because work keeps changing.” But who will change it? /

Guardian headline: The weekend is 100 years old - but have
'skiveday Fridays' and hybrid working ruined it for everyone?

🥵 As it’s the 2nd UK heatwave of the year, it’s worth saying that a 4-day week would: - reduce carbon emissions to prevent Summers getting even hotter - give you an extra day to either enjoy the weather, or hide from it somewhere cool, and not have to sweat it away at work!
