re: Friday thread: Would you support a 4/10 work week across the board?

I would support it, but I have always been a fan of a rotating 4/10 work week.
Week 1, you work 4/10 M-Th
Week 2, you work 4/10 Tu-Fr
Weeks w/ holidays are worked based on a 5/8 work week.
This gives you a 4 day weekend every other week. And, as far as the kids aspect, most people w/ kids that I know are able to be out of the door by 630, so unless you have a long commute you can easily pull a 7-5 (530 w/ 30 minute lunch).

I'd support 4/8 as the new normal. Work smarter not longer.
I agree. Most people don't "actually" work 40 hours a week. Every job I've ever been on at least 10 hours a week is spent goofing off doing random shite to make it look like your doing something productive. I'd rather spend that time at home.

Also, by the employer being opened 5 days a week, it gives those employees that cannot do a 4/10 the option to work a 5/8.

Absolutely. I advocate for this all the time even though I know it won't happen

I tried to do that schedule and it was hell with my 1 hour commute time. It was very hard for me to tend to my kids after school stuff because I got home so late. My days ended up being 12+ hours when the commute time was factored in
Sounds like a personal problem.
I welcome our new overlord hours.

I work M-Th and love it. I check emails and such on Friday, but don't have to be at work. It's awesome.
Posted on 5/27/16 at 10:51 am to TheDrunkenTigah
Hell, I'd come out way ahead on that deal, but would probably have to come in for 10 hours on Friday anyway.
Posted on 5/27/16 at 10:51 am to TheDrunkenTigah
I already work 10-12 hours a day, so yeah
Posted on 5/27/16 at 10:51 am to TheDrunkenTigah
I'm on 4-9s and a 4 now. pretty sweet 1 hour left

Only people I can think wouldn't like it would be parents of kids who do a lot of after school sports or activities. Who else would oppose the movement?
Majority of people here have kids. Wouldn't fly. 8 hour day is already long enough as it is.
Posted on 5/27/16 at 11:08 am to TheDrunkenTigah
3 12s is the sweet spot. 4 days off every single week 
Posted on 5/27/16 at 11:09 am to TheDrunkenTigah
With BR traffic that would turn into a 4/14 work week.

I mean would you support that being the new normal for every 9-5 style job.
oh yeah
it's kind of like when i was in school and i wished they cut summer 2 weeks short so we'd get 10 extra mondays off
you feel it a lot more
Posted on 5/27/16 at 11:13 am to TheDrunkenTigah
I am on a 9/80 now. My answer is no. As someone said earlier, tending to young kids with longer hours sucks. When they are older, I'd be all over a 4/10 schedule

Our company has a 4/10 schedule. They expect salaried employees to work 5/10s
It's fricking bullshite

Hell yes!
Posted on 5/27/16 at 11:24 am to TheDrunkenTigah
Yes. I would prefer a split shift though. Some off on Friday some on Mon so you can get shite done.
Right now I work M-Th off Fri-M, work Tues-Fri off Sat-Sun. Repeat...... it's fricking awesome!

ETA; I work 6-4:30 with a 30 min lunch. I'm he for 5 everyday. It would be tough with our kids getting them on and off the bus if my wife and I both worked my schedule.

I've brought this up at my company and been laughed at.

I would certainly support, although that schedule would be rough if both parents were on that schedule
In this hypothetical dreamland, schools go to four days a week too. Basically it would just insert two hours to the middle of the day with everything else shifting accordingly.
The one catch I could see was that makes little league practice a cluster frick.
