[QUOTE="GodLovesCats, post: 77264252, member: 425502"] The day of the week makes no difference if you are a customer and need something right away. You can suddenly run out of something anytime. But I can see where you are going with this. Nobody is going to be paid for a 40-hour work week without working 40 hours. You are assuming every employer hires people who want to work overtime. Even if they do have such people, it would hurt the company's bottom line because of the "time and a half" overtime pay requirement for anyone who works five 10-hour days. Many people in the retail industries ironically will lose their jobs for being the most devoted workers if they do that. Staggering days off still does not solve the problem of parents working 10-hour days. I think most people would tell you their current 8-hour days is too much. If we are going to keep the full-time schedule at 40 hours, 8x5 is the only way that makes sense. That is correct. In socialist countries, new moms get a lot more paid maternity leave than American women do. I read a sad article in The Guardian about a woman having an abortion because she was ineligible for any paid leave and her husband did not have a living wage job, so she had to keep hers. Stories like that make me think the real solution for working moms is work-at-home jobs. My older sister is a full-time oncologist, but oner day a week she works at home to take care of her three kids. [/QUOTE]
