Bring on the 4-day workweek

from Recode Daily Hosted by Recode

The pandemic changed where we work and how we work — and our work-life balance pretty much disappeared. That’s especially true for working mothers, who did more child care and household labor than their male partners. Now, as people start to reevaluate the meaning of work, American work culture is in the spotlight. Recode’s Rani Molla (@ranimolla) and Vox’s Anna North (@annanorthtweets) discuss. References: You can read Rani’s story about working mothers here. And Anna’s piece about the four-day workweek here. Enjoyed this episode?
