Proposed bill would shorten California workweek to 32 hours.

[85SugarVol]

Face it, between bathroom breaks, getting coffee, personal texts/calls, surfing the internet, social media, general chitchat and ext. 32 productive hours is about what employers are getting.

You’re being generous

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

Lol what are you talking about. I’ve not been in law enforcement in 15 plus years

What do you do?

 

[VolStrom]

Well we have nearly 10k team members at my business and they make around $4billion a year in revenue so I’ll call that pretty productive. How about yours?

So on average, each "team member" makes $400k a year, that's pretty lucrative. Either a few make a lot or everyone makes a ton.

Or it's total company revenue generated by those 10K employees?

It's UT Knoxville medical center. They intake a ton of money and they make sure that their intake and outflow equal each other so they maintain their tax free status. The average salary there is probably close to $40k a year.

You sure? Most recent 990 shows approx. a billion dollars in revenue and 6K employees (to be fair, might have grown since most recent filing)

Utmc is more than just UHS employees

Your lucky if you get 32 productive hours out of an employee as it is.

So if it passes they'll only get 24 productive hours.

 

[hog88]

Oh no, if it passes everyone will suddenly be more productive.

 

[C-south]

So hourly employees are expected to survive on 8 less hours or employers are expected to compensate for 8 free hours?

During Covid... we went to split shifts. That being 3 days on, 4 off, then 4 on and and 3 off. We discovered that we could prioritize key projects better, and rather than one person managing a project, we would hand it off to the incoming engineer. We discovered that we could meet all our goals and timelines and having a few more days away was a great benefit to moral. So... I am not convinced a 5 day, 50-60 hour work week is the way to go!

I 100% agree that overworking your people and/or having inflexible schedules reduce productivity. I just disagree with.gov mandates.

This has been studied for a long time. In the short term looks great. As it plays out longer not so much

 

[UT-Rex]

Great. People should be encouraged to leave California.

I firstly read that as: Great People should be encouraged to leave CA.

Perhaps this is actually the goal of CA leadership.

 

[creekdipper]

Lots of studies show that productivity increases with a shorter work week

If we can just cut the work week to eight total hours, we'll be out of this budget deficit in no time! It will be amazing!

 

[Orangeburst]

I heard the city of North Dallas is going to a 0 hour work week.

IF that!

Nobody is advocating that but a shorter work week has production benefits.

 

[Orangeburst]

Why these artificial limits of 500 employees? And what about government workers. They will not accept being excluded. High pensions, benefits and time off, aren't enough.

 

[volinbham]

typical government approach - mandates and assume it will work for all companies, all work cultures and all situations.

it can work in some cases

Starting after Memorial Day we have summer hours, there are goals everyone has to meet from week to week and if they hit them the week prior the next Friday is a paid day off. It works but by the end of summer it becomes expected instead of a bonus and always leads to some BS when they miss one.

It's not the goal. It's just the end result of one moronic liberal policy after another.

 

[MG1968]

32 hours at $15/hour is just $480 before taxes.

Once again, democrats don’t think about the unintended consequences of the legislation they propose.

 

[Orangeburst]

Just going to be a small hourly wage increase for workers. Companies are not going to hire extra employees to make up this 8 hour time as employment costs are not worth it. They will just require the same employees work overtime as per fed law.
Think of manufacturing or production lines...the pace always stays the same and equipment will not be ramped up by 25% to achieve the same product output.
