I have genuinely had exactly this conversation with only the names changed. Multiple times.

perennial calendars – specifically leap week calendars (already implemented in the ISO week date calendar) – keeps all the advantages of 28 day months, and the leap week (instead of a leap day) allows for everything to stay lined up and doesn’t interrupt the 7-day week cycle

Quarters would be weird for businesses so it would never catch on.

We could all unionize and just take the first month off, set it in the deepest part of winter, January or so, and just set Christmas to be during that month. Although people might not be thrilled to move Christmas to after New Year's.

It's not really that hard to have a quarter be 3 months + 1 week tbh.
