Typically we work 40 hours a week, 8 hours a day. Let’s say you get paid $20. That’s $800 a week.
What if we went down to a 32 hours a week, 8 hours a day and made $25 a hour. It will still equate to $800 a week but then we can have a 3 day weekends.
A 3 day weekend would be so much more efficient. One day for task/errands/chores. One day for fun/going out/activities. And one day for rest. That’s why everyone complains about work and productivity is low. They are overworked. At work, you’re working. At home, you’re working. And like they say “all work and no play…”
Also, having a third day off would help to get things completed when things like the bank are closed on weekends or close at 5 pm on weekdays and you get off at 5 so you can’t make it.

Then companies are getting 8 hours less of labor for the same price
Had a job where two different teams rotated between 3 and 4 day weeks, so while Team A worked 3 days this week, Team B worked 4, then the next week Team A would do 4 days while Team B only had 3. It was amazing. Best work schedule I ever had.
Yes, but no.
4 days on, 2 days off is a perfect balance.
Yes that means redoing the calendar. It should never have been based on a fairy tale.
It ends up only being around 16 fewer workdays, but that can go a long way.
The only four day work weeks I’ve heard of are four 10 hour days
I don’t need to read anything. The answer is yes.
Mentally yes 10 fold if processes were in place and possible rotation schedules were set it would not impact the company. I would be on board 👍
I work 4 10 hour shifts no problem and get 3 days off– two for sunday, monday and third between the two blocks of shifts; its best case scenario
a better case scenario was working 4 8.5 hour shifts that were always rounded up to 40 hours– fantastic benefits but the hours were insane. they had me work 5p-1:30a aka the hours anyone wants to do anything with you. so I quit and cashed out a ton of pto
