Good point, though if it was Wednesday off, I'd still consider it. Tuesday or Thursday would be right out.
4 day work week...yay or nay?

it's actually kind of neat to only work two days, then have a day off, then work two more, then have two off...
it's not bad, but the benefit of having a three-day weekend is obvious when it comes to vacation.
I'm assuming we'd rotate who got off friday or monday...no other equitable way to work it
and I rarely have to stay late nor am I ever called in on days off...I have to probably come in for a major software rollout in 2 weekends and that will be maybe the first time in my 5 years here

Assumedly it would count as 10 hours, I don't think most companies do sick/vacation time in days.

four 10s rules.. I loved workin' that way. It'd have to be a set schedule for me though. I'd forget and take a day off when I shouldn't or go in when I didn't have to.

just the opposite...it's supposed to be the city that never sleeps, always on the go, etc...so a NY minute is like a second...iirc
the new york minute is the time it takes for the light to turn green and the guy second in line to go to honk his horn. so virtually instantaneously.why_ask_why said:
Works fine, if you are hourly and actually adhere to a work schedule, lol.
But yea, we used to do flex hours when I was working at AMEC. We'd do 9 hours Mon-Thurs, and then a half day on Friday. It was great! Except for the salaried guys that had projects that they had to stay on and work Friday afternoon, lewls.

I've done a three day work week and it nearly killed me. You just spend the extra day off sleeping and being exhausted so it's not even like you have another day off. I think a 4 day work week would be ideal.
I really liked the 4 10 hour days I worked for week. It was supposed to be closer to six weeks when I started that schedule, but since Haylee came early, I started maternity leave much sooner than expected. It's very nice to have Friday to get stuff done or rest or whatever. I figure during the week by the end of 8 hours you are too tired to do much anyway, so why not through a couple more hours in and get an extra day off.
last place i worked at, the schedule was 4 nine hour days and four hours on friday. vacation was doled out by the hour. so you could take two fridays off for the price of one day. but they usually ended up asking us to work ten hour days and/or all day friday plus some weekends.
i miss my 4 day work week. thursday-sunday 8-7 (8-6 on the weekend). We didnt do shit on the weekends, so it was like a 2 day a week job filled in with videogames for a minimum of 20 hours on the weekend. having mon, tue and wed off was nice.
I admit having a day off during the work week is good espescially when working on your house (always there when contractors need access)
