Four Day Workweek?

so what happened? btb, are you getting a 4 day week?

I use to work a 4 day work week a few years ago and I loved it. We actually worked 4/10 hour days and could take Friday or Monday off, it was absolutely fantastic. Now I have the option of working from home and also we have flex time so I come in about 6am, and I leave really early in the day...so it all works out or not come in at all and just work from home.

Looks like we are! But my dean isn't in favor of it, and there are still kinks to be worked out, but we're supposed to begin this next week for the next six weeks! IF this works like "they" are hoping it does, then we'll be doing this again beginning in the spring semester.

There are also complaints from those that will be affected by things such as child care, those with little bitty people (not spending enough time in the evenings with them) and others.

In addition, there's a rumor that certain folkses (many in my department of student services) are to get substantial raises. I won't believe any of it until I get official word. . . from our local newspaper.

man it's been a long time since I posted on here.

anyhoo, I'd rather have more flex in general. I'd be more productive if I could come to work at 11 instead of 9.

I work four 10 hour days and I love it. The flexibility is wonderful if you are attending grad school like I am. As a MSW student, I do my field placement on Mondays. Tuesday-Friday, I work from 7:30 a.m-6:30 p.m. Our flex schedule allows for 4 day work weeks, a 9 1/2 day schedule, 9 day work schedule, and a regular 8 hours.

Just my .08 cents.

I truly wish that I had a four day work week. I just want more flexibility than the 40 hour, 9-5, M-F grind.
