First of all, as has been pointed out by the professor, hiring more staff would spend much more money on providing training oppotunities,medical benefit and more working space and computers.According to the reading passage, however, it would not result in additional payroll costs because four-day employees would only be paid 80 percent of the normal rate. Then the professor goes on to maintain that companies would raise expectation of the fory-day employees and ask them to work overtime to make up the diufference. Obviously it would not result in offering more jobs to the society.However, the reading passage insists that the four-day work option to employees would reduce unemployment rate because some of their workload would have to shifted to others. The last evidence the professor adopts to contradict the reading passage is that four-day work will harm the employees’ chances of advancing career because employers are more likely to have five-day work employees to work in management positions. This point of view also cast doubt on the contends of the reading passage, which considers that it will improve the quality of their lives by spending the extra time with their families, pursuing private interests or enjoying leisure activities. Taking all factors into account, the point made in the lecture is absolutely in contrast with what is presented in the reading passage.作者: Crystaljoy 时间: 2012-7-7 22:47
