We’ve had a debate among our office about this for a few years now.
Would you rather keep 8 hour, Monday through Friday, or 10 hour, Monday through Thursday?
It’s honestly such a tossup for me, I don’t know which sounds best. Partly because 8 hour days have been all I’ve known and never tried anything longer, technically.
And really, in my office, it would be a difference of 9 and 11 hour days, because we are at work for 9 hours, we just get a 1 hour break in the middle for lunch. I’m not sure being at work for 11 hours, even with breaks, sounds appealing to me. 9 hours is long enough, as it is.
Generally the 4 day workweek does not involve increasing daily hours, it relies on people working more happily and efficiently during a shorter workweek.
I currently work 4 tens, and it’s absolutely worth it. It’s not a true four day work week, but it’s a good start. I find that putting the third day off in the middle of the week, like Tuesday or Wednesday is the best. You get a designated day to run errands, go to the doctor, get a haircut, etc., and you never have to work too many days in a row. Turns out Mondays don’t suck nearly as much when you have a day off immediately after
So your schedule is something like Monday, Wednesday through Friday, with Tuesday and Saturday and Sunday off?
It sounds interesting. I’ve long felt that having one day off in the middle of the week would help.
Right now I’m actually MTW+F, but I liked being M+WThF better. Coming back for Friday is weird lol
It’s great for taking a long weekend though, and way better than 5 eights either way
