distributed burden calendar. by amigojapan
The half day calendar is a new calendar that would run in parallel with the gregorian calendar.
the basic idea is that people would rest half the days of the week and work half the days of the week.
first we would have a 10 day week, we would have 2 teams of workers, team A and team B, we would basically have 5 days work
and five days off of the 10 day week, but in order to have 100 days off in a row, instead we would work 6 days per week and
rest 4 days, but every 1000 days we would have 100 days off, but since 1000 days it too long, we would instead work 500 days
and rest 50 days, or even just 25 days every 250 days.
having 2 teams of workers would not only help work less, but it would also improve efficiency in a company cause there would
be no days off.
we have been working using the gregorian calendar which takes saturday form Judaism(where supposedly God made the world in
6 days and rested the 7nth( Saturday) and and sunday(the day of the lord) form christianity as days off, but this is not
scientific at all, I want to change to a more scientifically thought out work system.
benefits:
#0 we would only work half the time
#1 employment would increase to sustain two workforces
#2 more well thought out system than traditional system
problems I see may come with this system:
#0 I am not sure if companies can pay for 2 teams of workers.
#1 this may not be a good system for every kind of job, but many jobs would be fine. especially unskilled jobs.
#2 working hours decrease, so salaries must increase to keep people paid in a liveable amount.
#3 religious people may refuse to conform to this system.
and of course #4 people are afraid of change
#5 it may be hard to rearrange if someone misses work
