I had a hard time doing 4 10s (those are reeeeeally long days for me), but I do a 4 1/2 day work week now (8-5 M-Th, 8-1 F) and I love it.
That's pretty cool! I just rather have 3 days to not worry about work (even though I often get called out on the weekend anyhow) rather than two. I've worked a lot of 16-18-24 hour days though, so 10's seem short to me.
They've offered a "Flex Time" schedule like this at most corps I've worked at in the last 10 years. Most people did a schedule where you work 45 min more a day and get every other Friday off. It's really convenient if your job duties can allow for it.
Yep. We have flex time at my corp and most people take advantage of the 10x4. Especially in the summer!
Any mandate would be the most foolish piece of legislation ever passed. One shoe does not fit all in the business world. It's certainly a good idea where applicable but forcing something like this onto companies would be quite frankly dumb.
I hate to break it to you, but this is old news. It happened a year ago. Did you not read the article that you linked to?
Still a good idea. I know a lot of corporate guys that do this, and have for years. Some of them work 9 X 9s and take a "floating" day every other week.
