Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:52:15 GMT

More than half of American employers offer a four-day workweek, or plan to, according to a survey released Tuesday. A poll of 976 business leaders by ResumeBuilder.com, the job-seekers website, found that 20 percent of employers already have a four-day workweek. Another 41 percent said they plan to implement a four-day week, at least on a trial basis. American employers have experimented with a four-day workweek over the decades, typically in times of recession. But the idea has gained traction in recent years.  If a four-day week ever becomes standard, it would mark the biggest change to the national work schedule since the five-day workweek, adopted by automaker Henry Ford in 1926.  We can’t say, however, that the four-day workweek would rank as the most profound change to the American workplace, not even in the last three years.

Review: ‘Flash’ starts with much promise before fading to cliche

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 22:52:15 GMT

By Jocelyn Noveck | Associated Press“It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature,” went a famous ’70s commercial catchphrase. But we learn in “The Flash” — the much awaited, long gestated new DC Studios offering — that it’s Father Time one musn’t cross. Because trying to change the past can really mess you up when you get back to the future and realize you’ve inadvertently changed that, too.But of course, we already knew that. We learned it from Marty McFly, immortalized by Eric Stoltz in “Back to the Future.”Relax! Of course it was Michael J. Fox, though Stoltz was initially cast in the role. But in “The Flash,” Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) realizes just how badly he’s messed up the space-time continuum when he arrives back from changing the past — just one teensy little thing, really — and learns that in his current world, Fox never replaced Stoltz. “I’ve destroyed the universe,” he frets in...
