This is surprising, considering the ongoing debates surrounding return-to-office policies. Additionally, the survey found that younger workers are also open to working longer hours, changing jobs or companies, working weekends or evenings, and even taking a pay cut to achieve a shorter workweek. The desire for a four-day workweek is not limited to younger generations; a significant number of Gen X and baby boomers also express interest in this shift.
