Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary blasts the 4-day week as the ‘stupidest idea’ because the digital economy means we’re always working
Kevin O'Leary, a prominent figure from "Shark Tank," has strongly criticized the concept of a four-day workweek, labeling it the "stupidest idea" he has encountered. He argues that in the current digital economy, traditional workweeks are obsolete, with project-based tasks and deadlines dictating workflow regardless of the day. While O'Leary dismisses the four-day week, other companies and even governments, like Tokyo's metropolitan administration, are exploring or implementing it to improve work-life balance and address societal issues.
