Poll: Should we have a four-day work week?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In 2018, a NZ company trialled the four-day week and claimed a 20% increase in productivity, encouraging them to make the change permanent. A four-day work week means employees are paid for 40 hours but only work 32 of those. Should this be rolled out across the country where possible?

SKYLINE 1.5 CAR GARAGE
$3,100 ono
Flat stacked ready for removal from our front yard!
We bought this garage with the intention of erecting it on our lifestyle property however, in retrospect realise we need a larger one. It has a roller door in working condition. The only thing that is missing is glass from both windows - these were single glazing and we planned to use double glazing so I got rid of them. We also had plans to use linear boards on the outside to make it compatible with our house. The linear board is also available for $850.
In addition Peter (the man who took it down) is available to rebuild it if required - (cost to be arranged between yourselves).
Contact Karen through Neighbourly or phone 0273718038

Price: $3,100
