The lecture talks about reasons why employees working in four days are not as beneficial as the reading passage said. According to the lecture, the benefits of employees' working four days suggested in the passage are groundless and unpersuasive.
First of all, the lecture indicates that the company profits do not necessarily increase as the reading passage mentioned. It is because by adding new workers, company may spend more time and money on training the new ones. Plus, company have to spend money enlarging office space and purchasing more computers for these new employees. Thus it does not necessarily true that the company profits will increase.
What's more, what contradicts to the reading passage, the employees who work four days a week in the company do not necessarily fell more rested. Because it is possible that the company many find another way to minimize the cost, instead of hiring new workers, it may adjust the employees' time, asking them to do the same amount work of five days in four days. Hence, the employees won't feel rested and thus may affect the company's efficiency.
Last but not the least, the reading passage says that the option of a four-day workweek would be better for individual employees. However, based on the lecture, it is not the case. Since after the option carrying out, the employees have more free time, however, at the same time, they may take some risks of reducing the quality of life. For example, they may decrease their job ability and venture advancing career since they may lose job when the economics in the downturn. In addition, the option is not be beneficial for their career promotion, since the company has to promote these employees who can work five days a week to be managers to continue the company's operation.
