I only do 4 days "face time", but I am also on call 24 hours on 4 days. I have Fridays off, and I love it!

we've been doing this for a while, i just recently (this week) changed from friday off to tuesday off

it was a weird week to start, but i think i will like it better

I'd want to work 4 consecutive days in a row just so there wouldn't have to be breaks in between any work I might be trying to do, but considering the work force would have to be staggered the possibility of having the same day off every week would be small (since everyone would most likely want Monday or Friday.)

Personally I'd prefer to keep my 8 hour days & work one day from home.

I used to work that schedule, and I took Fridays off. It worked better for me because I had to liaison with our international offices, in Europe, PacRim and Australia.

The best times of day were before and after the 9-5 hours, because I didn't have people bothering me. Heck, I usually came in early and stayed late before I had changed, so it made sense.

Four ten hour days also conserves on gas and gives a longer weekend .:)

But, I never had a job that I could do that.

I work a 9/80 schedule, so I have every other Friday off.

I have been thinking of going to a 4/10 schedule to have every Friday off.

1. Hell yeah.
2. Mondays or Fridays would be ideal, but whatever day would work for me.

I'd love to do 4 day weeks. Tuesdays and Thursdays are usual bid days, so I couldn't take either of those off (not that anyonw would want a day off in the middle). What I'd really like to do is one week M-Th then the next week Tue-Fri. And alternate like that. It would really depend on when job meetings and other random events occur. I doubt I could have a 100% consistant schedule.

if i WAS working... id totally do a 4-day workweek with a day off. while fridays sounds awesome to have off... i think monday would be just as good. if none of my friends had friday off then i would just be hanging around doing nothing. and i find Mondays better days to get business done.

OneTimeSBX 05-30-2008 02:25 PM

hmmm, i would definately do that. id probably work mon/tues and thu/fri with a wed off, because who does anything on Wednesdays? id be able to hit up the DMV or whatever easily lol...and usually by hump day im dragging so it would be best for me!

AXi1257 05-30-2008 02:29 PM

I work 12 hour shifts, 3 days a week as an RN and it's so much better than working 5 days a week!! I've never worked 9-5 hours ever, so I have no idea how to function like that.

APhi Sailorgirl 05-30-2008 02:56 PM

Well I currently work what some call a 5/4/9 or compressed work schedule, so 8-9 hour days, 1-8 hour day and 1 day off, which is every other friday at the moment.

If the my agency would let us work 4-10s I would do it. I love my one Friday off, so having all Fridays off would be great!

PeppyGPhiB 05-30-2008 03:00 PM

Considering I pretty much work 10 hours a day already and still work five days per week, yes, I would gladly take a 4/10 work schedule. And I'd take Fridays off.

CBU Jeff 05-30-2008 03:57 PM

1. I would definitely do a 4/10. I wouldn't mind having different days off each week. Keeps things interesting. All I know is, I'll do anything to conserve gas, its killing me!!!
