More bosses give four-day workweek a try

It is an especially big deal for working parents... having a day when kids are at school/daycare to do chores and errands is huge... so many things are impossible to do when you are chasing kids around. I get way more done on a weekday home than a weekend.

This. I literally cannot get anything done on the weekends unless the inlaws stay over to look after our 2 toddlers. As the kids get older I'm sure it'll get easier.

how about single working adults? I have to literally take off of work to go to the DMV.

Isn’t that the case for everyone working a standard 5 day week, single, kids, or not?

No. A good amount of reasonable/compassionate companies like mine don't care if you take 2 hours to go to the DMV during work hours. I'm very fortunate

But that still doesn’t have anything to do with having kids or not.
