Posted by znufrii Aug 18 '22, 09:46

Not me, I like spreading my slacking throughout the week.

It was great when I had it. I did all of my errands on Friday when other people were working. So much faster and I had all weekend for fun. -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 11:11
I've settled on 9+7+7+10+6+1+3 = 43 Monday-Sunday. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 10:56
But it's not really about us, is it? If all my friends and loved ones get 4 days, yes. What would be the point on a Fri if I can't hang out with anyone? -- nm* - con_carne Aug 18, 10:37 2
- 2nd job -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 18, 10:46
- Housework and yard work and shopping, so your weekend is free? -- nm - mara Aug 18, 10:40
If you can guarantee none of my colleagues will email me on the 5th day, yes. -- nm - LMS Aug 18, 10:22 1
- heh -- nm - mud Aug 18, 10:37
I already work around the clock -- nm - HFORD Aug 18, 10:18 1

Of course. I'd happily work a couple more hours each day to have a three day weekend every weekend. Bonus is Monday holidays make it four day weekends - Krusty Aug 18, 10:11
4-day, 8-hour, yes please. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 09:59 1
- (I'm salaried, so I didn't factor in pay cut. No pay cut. And for hourly, a wage increase so that income doesn't drop.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 18, 10:00
I'm not sure we'd get anything out of kids in the extra 2 hours of a school day. -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 09:59
Basically do that now -- nm - budice Aug 18, 09:57
Yes. -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 18, 09:56
It would be a vast improvement from my current 5-10 routine -- nm - rollo Aug 18, 09:53
Four ten-hour days? God, no. Or 32 hours with a pay cut? Nope. Or 32 hours with no pay cut, in a public library, with more money going to payroll and - mara Aug 18, 09:51 2
- Honestly, after 8 hours, you’re on autopilot. It’s really nothing after the adjustment period. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 09:53 1
  - With my commute, I would very much dislike getting home at 7pm. In practical terms it would negate my ability to go to the gym -- nm - oblique Aug 18, 09:56
nope. Spread the Slack! #spreadtheslack - Jovian Aug 18, 09:51
I used to love 4-10s. The absolute best. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 18, 09:51 1
- Yep. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 09:53
No. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 18, 09:50
no thanks -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 09:49
I’ve done 4-10 / 9-80 / 5-8. I prefer the 4/10. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 18, 09:49
