by TGIT (Thank God It’s Thursday). The change is due to a growing popularity of four-day workweeks which have become the standard for many companies and municipalities. The benefits of the four-day workweek appear to extend far beyond the organization to the employee and society in general. In an effort to illustrate this point, the current investigation considers the benefits and drawbacks of four-day workweeks, examining the issue from the perspective of the organization, employer, and society.

better than a high-paying job and a 60-hour workweek. However many including myself, don’t share the views of Hal Niedzviecki’s essay’s “Stupid Jobs Are Good to Relax With”. Having a higher paying and longer hours provides much more income and allows for a lot more financial freedom.

Within the leasing office, there are three employees (outside of maintenance). These three employees are Angie, Kendal, and Amy. Even though I did not get to see the dynamic with all three of them working together, I can tell that they make a great team. Individually, however, they each have their own responsibilities.

Moving weekend. These two words have defined my life several times since my pilgrimage to Colorado. My first few years here were chaotic, unknown, and completely spontaneous. For someone who likes control, a concrete plan at least two weeks in advance, and a generous helping of consistent routine, my first days, weeks, years, where I was but a nomadic, semi-"homeless" wanderer were met with the most challenging and illuminating moments I have yet encountered. As my husband and I prepared for the

a. According to (Jeffrey A. Kottler & David S.Shepard, 2014) they believe “that the people who need help are most likely not similar to you(p. 448) Often than not the people that counselor are going to help come from different backgrounds. One of the best ways a person can expand their viewpoint is to travel to different cultures and do different environment.

Assiduous Athletes Not many people know the onus of being a student athlete in college. This burden set on them has caused the graduation rate of scholarship players to average at about fifty percent from 1995 to 1998. In order to be eligible to play, the athletes must be full-time students , which means taking at least twelve units a semester. Because these athletes are taking so many classes, they must make time for a considerable amount of studying and homework. Then add up the amount of practice
I jumped in the car anticipating the freedom of this weekend. YES!!! Finally it’s Friday! Man, I can’t wait to go out with my friends tonight, maybe my boyfriend tomorrow night, lunch with the gang at the local “Chef-o-nette” diner on Saturday. At last I will be able to unwind and have a good time. Two nights is never enough. “Twins, you have your confirmation retreat this weekend. Aren’t you excited?!” My mother interrupted my thoughts and dashed my vision of a wonderful weekend. I was filled

Work-life balance practices are thoughtful organizational changes in programs or organizational culture that are intended to reduce work-life conflict and permit employees to be more effective at work as well as in other roles. The evolution from viewing work-life balance practices only as a means of providing individual employees with care giving responsibilities to identifying their contribution to organizational performance and employee engagement is an important paradigm shift which is still
Oh to be a kid again, I remember elementary school like it was yesterday. Playing tag, four-square, hop scotch and tackle football. What…..a girl playing tackle football! I know, I know that is a little unorthodox, but I was the best defensive end St. Francis Cabrini had that year, way back in 1982. Things have changed since then, some games are no longer allowed to be played because of injuries, like tag or tackle football, and other games are considered bullying, like dodge ball. These are
Father and Daughter weekend became my favorite weekends, as a child. My father made sure that it was never boring when FDW (father/daughter weekend) came around. Every weekend, my father had just one goal to accomplish and that goal was to teach me something no matter what. Well, at the age of eight, my father took me fishing for the first time. When my father and I arrived to our destination, at five o’clock that morning, the smell of freshly cut grass slaps me in the face, almost taking my breath
When Americans think of the weekend, it's a mini vacation where they would have at least 2 days off from there busy life. They try to do as many things possible to getaway and enjoy there down time. There have been speculations where Americans should adapt to a 4 day weekend. It's extremely unnecessary to have that much days off when that gets taken off on your vacation days. A 4 day weekend allows you to have more time for yourself, more family time, and allows you to get the thing you've been dying
In the early to mid-1800’s, the week end was just that. Week end. Week end was Saturday night, not Sunday. Sunday was considered the first day of the week, not the week end, week-end or weekend. It was not for work or fun, it was for worship, a day of rest. Now it’s week days and weekend. We call the first day of the week Monday, but it is in fact, Sunday. There was no such thing as the weekend as we know it until the 1870’s. Workers put in up to 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. According to
As I yell, "Slow down! Slow down!" I realized that my good friend Ben is about to see his life flash before his eyes. He is in fourth gear on his four-wheeler, running approximately forty-five miles per hour as he declines down a hill toward a massive mud hole at the bottom. Knowing what is about to happen, I wave my arms in a downward motion in an attempt for him to slow down. Because of his speed he had no choice but to just go for it. He hit the bottom of the hill and about three feet from the
In life, many things are taken for granted on a customary basis. For example, we wake up in the morning and routinely expect to see and hear from certain people. Most people live daily life with the unsighted notion that every important individual in their lives at the moment, will exist there tomorrow. However, in actuality, such is not the case. I too fell victim to the routine familiarity of expectation, until the day reality taught me otherwise. Growing up, I always found sanctuary confiding
McGregor and Big Sandy Lake, Minnesota My favorite place to be would be the city and are of McGregor Minnesota.
