夏说英语新闻晨读 第858期:老板 可以一周只工作4天吗?（在线收听）

 本期内容：

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so the old proverb goes. But does it also make Jack less productive, less efficient, unhappy and more stressed? That's the view of a growing number of voices, including the UK's trade union body, the TUC. They want businesses to cut the standard working week from five days to just four. The idea is that you keep your pay, but work fewer hours; a day off in the week to pursue your own interests or spend time with the family.
