4 day work week

With all the advancements in technology and robotics isnt it about time the developed world changed to a standard 4 day work week (same pay of course). We'd be back to full employment in no time and we could enjoy bank holiday weekends every weekend ;) Anybody know obamas and merkels number?

I'm dreading next week. 4 days may seem great on paper. But it goes longer than a 5 day for some reason, you're still trying to fit 5 days' worth of work into 4. Not cool.

I'm all for this, working 5 days in a row is horrendous, how do people who work 9-5 mon-fri get anything done?
