there is zero to like about an hour commute.

I’m paid very well and my gas is covered. Being in Houston a longer commute is not uncommon.

For the lower middle class

4x10's is the ultimate.

5x8's always turns into 5x10's anyway. Give me the day off, and preferably make it Monday.

I'm on 4 10s. 7-5:30. Home around 6. Makes for some long days at the office sometimes but having that open weekday and a 3 day weekend is great. Schedule any doctor's appointments or run errands on Fridays.

I like the ideas of 4-10s, but only if you have a lot of family flexibility AND can start your workday early in the morning, like 6 am. Its hard to find while collar jobs that actually have a 4-10s schedule that works, 9-80s are much better.

Also, 4-10s can be a scam, there are several cities in Louisiana that have 4-10s City Hall office hours, that is BS. You have a bunch of office workers maybe showing up at 7 am who sit around and do no work till 8:30 or 9, and if you need to pull a permit for a project on a Thursday afternoon or Friday morning you won't get your permit till Monday.

I’ve worked 5 8s (plus) for the last 40+ years, 4 10s is my dream. I’d have to modify my workout schedule, but that’d be a small price to pay.

I'd do it now, but it would have inconvenient with young kids.

I work with some people that do 4 9s and a 4. I think I'd enjoy that.

I'm 56 and I've been working 4-10's most of my life. Frickin LOVE it!!!! It's allowed me to have a good family life and able to make a living with zero stress

Counter offer: 4T’s

Tues & Thurs
Ten until Two

Then play hide &’seek for a grand a week.

3-12s was somewhat common in the building trades back in the late 80s and early 90s. When a job was working 24-7 they would have 2 shifts working 4 -12s M-Thursday and 2 shifts working 3-12s F-Sun. The 4-12 shift would make 32 hours of straight time and 16 hours of time and a half for a total of 56 hours. The 3-12 crews made 8 hours of straight time, 16 hours of time and a half and 12 hours of double time for a total of 56 hours. Needless to say tramps usually worked the 4 day shift and local hands got the 3 day shift. Same amount of hours paid but there was an actual difference of 12 hours for most tramps. Add a shift differential for working nights and actually only working 12 hours with a half hour meal instead of 12.5 hours and the 3-12 night shift was the best deal going....
