For 11 Years, the Soviet Union Had No Weekends (2018)
&gt; But though Sundays were holidays once again, they came at a different cost: For ordinary workers, quitting one’s job, missing a day’s work or being over 20 minutes late became criminal offenses, with mandatory prison sentences.<p>Damn. Recently, talking with folks down at a resort in Mexico, the workers all reported 1 day off per week, and it was staggered. Seems similar to what was described in the article. Painful.<p>For me, it would be ideal if everyone worked 3-4 days. A day for rest, a day for errands, and a day for fun means three day weekends are ideal from a worker perspective. And it is important that those days can overlap with others - what good is a day of fun if you can&#x27;t do it with friends and family?
