My job offers 4/10s. I can't do it personally because I have to get my kids off to school at a certain time and have to be home to get them to activities in the evenings. It's already rushed with 8 hour days. (Our 8 hour days are actually 8.5 to include lunch and the 10 hour days are 10.5 to include lunch). Usually, by 4:10 or so (I work until 4:30), I'm so ready to leave that I'm climbing the walls. I can't imagine staying in that building for 10 hours. It's also a hassle when there's a holiday because holiday pay is for 8 hours. If you want 10 hours off that day, you have to use 2 hours vacation. Then again, since you have a day free during the week, you can schedule all of your doctor appointments, home contractor appointments, etc. on your day off so you don't have to use vacation time for those. I might consider it when the kids are out of the house.
