What would you choose: 8 hrs x 5 days/week, 6 hrs x 6 days/week or 9 hrs x 4 days/week? (position, check)

9 hours x 4 days/week so I can get more days off (I prefer my shifts to be consecutively)

Same here although I would go further and do 12 hours x 3 days/week. It would be like having a mini-vacation every week.

9x4, easy. I currently do 10x4 (M-Th) so I can have Fridays off. My wife works as Head Nurse so she does 12-hr shifts, 3 days a week (M-W) & she still gets paid for 40 hours.

At my old job in healthcare we had two admins in the department, and we asked if we could each work three 12s, providing coverage across six days instead of five days between 7-5 p.m. (I worked 7-4, she worked 8-5). They didn't take us up on our offer, which made us both sad because we both LOVED the idea of working 3 days a week.

I would do 10x4 or even 11x4/12x4. Or 8x4 with a 20% pay cut. Work days are already a total loss from a personal life perspective, so I'd give anything to get a third day of my life back each week.

I would like a 4-day work week.

Problem is our (global) customers don't work a 4-day work week. Bad enough when they expect you to get something done on a Sunday, but convincing them to wait 3 days is going to drive them to competitors with standard 5-day work weeks. So no 4-day work week for me.

If you went 9x4 you'd only have every other Friday off, not every Friday. The title of the thread has it miscalculated.

I would do the 4 day work week with the 3rd day floating. Every week the day off would be different.

I would do 9x4 if I got the same pay, as an exempt manager, but I would stick to 8x5 if pay was hourly. It looks like as of 1/3/2021 we will be going hybrid, I will most likely be in the office MWF, home TuTh.
