问题     If you try to contact Indy Cube (a provider of workspaces) after 5 p. m. , you receive an automatic Message that would make a good demonstration for the fast-growing four-day week movement, "we’ll get back to you pretty quickly during working hours, " it says, "if you’ re messaging us outside of these, we’ re probably busy with other things, like horse-riding, dancing, or good sleep.
    The firm is one of a growing number of employers giving their workers an extra day off for the same pay as a five-day week. There is emerging evidence that it can boost productivity for bosses and happiness for workers.
    And it is not just small businesses that might be spotting a chance to save a little money by turning the lights off one day a week. One of the biggest organizations to make the switch is Perpetual Guardian whose shift has generated huge globe interest, with 406 organizations from around the world asking it for advice.
    "This week we have had people contact us from Japan, Canada, the UK, France, Switzerland. " said its founder Andrew Barnes. The day off that each worker takes varies, depending on the team’ s needs at the time, but there has been a change in culture with " less time surfing on social media and fewer unnecessary meetings. " said Barnes.
    However, Kate Cooper, policy director at the Institute of Leadership and Management argues the reasons behind increases in productivity are not yet clear. Cooper said that " the Hawthorne effect" may be in play, that is, people change their behavior simply because they feel they are being observed—in this case they feel that by being granted a four-day week they believe their bosses are interested in their work. "How sustainable is that? " Cooper doubts.
    Comment 1:
    I don’ t exactly disagree with a 4-day week as long as I still have the option to work 5 days and get more money for it.
    Comment 2:
    Middle class conception of work-life balance. It’s an interesting idea, but so much needs to happen in the UK before this becomes an option for the majority.
    Comment 3:
    True for all these reasons. And I feel there is actually great reason: the environment we need to be producing less stuff in order to reduce the stress on our planet.
    Comment 4 :
    I thought this was supposed to be here 20 years ago with the advances in technology.
    Comment 5:
    3 days off a week? Preparing for 7 days off a week.

选项 A、will soon be adopted by other companies in the world
