in the market for a new job and article this morning about australian companies trialing and succeeding with 4 day work weeks here has me glimmer of hoping. difference in quality of life between 5 and 4 days is incredible.
I think I’ll stick with my 2 day work week. Two 12 hour days, then two days off. Repeat. I’d rather less hours, but in the absence of that this works pretty well.
haven’t heard of that before, sounds excellent. speaking only for office/knowledge jobs and maybe not 100% of jobs are like this but… almost every one i have had has contained substantial filler, would happily trade for time off and more compressed/efficient work hours. we would easily spend half a day a week in meetings that don’t need to happen.

Just gotta make sure it’s not Bunnings’ idea of a 4 day work week which is really just a compressed work week (same ft hours over 4 days)

I am going to be a pioneer of the 2 day work week (20 hours a day)

For real. I prefer 5x8 over 4x10.
It really is nice. I did half day Fridays for years and the weekend felt extra.
We do a 3/4 day on Fridays and even that adds to quality of life dramatically
