全球第二大富豪提倡每周工作三天

    谢天谢地，今天是……周三了？

    如果卡洛斯•斯利姆的设想成为现实，那今后每个为别人打工的员工就会这么说了。

    据《金融时报》(Financial Times)报道，墨西哥亿万富翁卡洛斯•斯利姆认为，每周工作3天，比当前实行的5天工作制更可取。

    在巴拉圭召开的一场会议上，斯利姆分享了自己对新工作制度的看法，他表示：“人们将工作更多年，直到70岁或75岁时才退休，每周只工作3天——每天可能工作11个小时。”

    当然，斯利姆并非第一个提议改变传统工作周期安排的人。在线教育公司Treehouse便实行每周4天工作制。犹他州的公职人员每周也工作4天，每天工作10个小时，以降低周五的基础设施与交通成本。

    Thank God it’s … Wednesday?

    That’s what workers would be saying if Carlos Slim had anything to do with it.

    The Mexican billionaire thinks that a three-day workweek is preferable to the current five-day structure, according to an article in the Financial Times.

    Speaking at a conference in Paraguay, Slim shared his vision for a new work structure, saying that “people are going to have to work for more years, until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week – perhaps 11 hours a day.”

    Of course, Slim isn’t the first to propose changing the traditional workweek. Online education company Treehouse has a four-day workweek. The state of Utah’s public employees work four 10-hour days a week, to cut down on infrastructure and transportation costs on Fridays.

    Slim’s fixed-line phone company in Mexico allows retirement-age employees to continue working four days a week on a full salary.
