"Workers Seek Flexibility: From 4-Day Workweeks to European-Style Vacations"

A recent survey by Bankrate found that 89% of full-time workers are in favor of remote and hybrid work or four-day work weeks. Over half of workers said they would be willing to switch jobs or industries to obtain their desired schedule. While some companies are pushing for a return to full-time in-office work, many sectors are still open to remote work. Career experts suggest that workers can negotiate for flexible schedules by doing their research, highlighting the benefits of remote work, and offering a trial run. If employers are not open to flexibility, workers may consider updating their resumes and seeking positions elsewhere, being upfront about their preferences during the job search process.
