re: Would you rather work 4-10 hour days or 5-8 hour days?

I work 4-10s and if I do go in on Friday, it’s for maybe a couple of hours. It’s awesome

ETA: 6-4:30

4 10s

Monday
Tuesday
Off Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Off Weekends

It works.

4-10s

4 10s and it would be awesome if I could choose which day I take off each week.

I worked 4 10s a few years back, but I also had an hour commute, so those 4 days SUCKED as they were more like 4 12s with the commute. But then I got to skip commuting (and work) altogether every Friday so it was always worth it.

It just gives you so much more flexibility to get errands done, plan vacations, etc.

I work 5 days week for 9 hours a day now.

Both would be better than my schedule now.

I would go 4-10. Reduce the fuel and effort wasted commuting for that extra day. Use the extra day to take care of other nonsense.

In an office job, the 10 hour days get kind of long. I stopped doing that several years ago and just go for the 9/80 schedule which gives me every other Friday off.

Huge fan of the 9-9s schedule with half your employees off every Friday, its IMO the perfect combo for employers and employees. You still have half your work force there on the off day so there's no major scheduling issues.

But your employees also get a 3 day weekend every other weekend.

The true benefit of 4-10s though is places with bad traffic, as your employees in the long run can save 4+ hours a paycheck of commuting with those 2 days off. That's a lot of freaking time over a year.
