Four day working

[dronefromsector7G]

Our company have flexibility and there’s two people on my team alone who now condense their hours into 4 days. In theory I’d love a three day weekend but not sure about doing 8-5.30 instead of 8-4s and 9-5s

It’s called condensed hours. When my daughter was born I did two years of working five days in four. I had every Monday off, just me and her, it was brilliant.

I already do a four day week, have done since I started 21 years ago.
Love it. Long weekend every week.

4 × 9.25 Working week.

Lovely Jublee.

What is this thing called ‘work’ you speak of??!

Depends on individual circumstances. Doesnt work for me. I start early and finish in time for the school run, and on Fridays I get to finish 11.30 anyway.

The Liverpool thread is that way >

Don't see the point from my point of view, unless it's less hours.

If it's condensed hours you just end up more tired and then have to use some of the extra day to recover.

In fairness, a lot of people will be saying that now about working 5 days.

At least with the extra day, you get a day to recover, and then 2 days to actually enjoy.

Get your point though, and it should be an option given to people, and not by any means compulsory. Some people would thrive, some wouldn't.

Not convinced businesses will shut down on the 5th day, as it may be that you can choose your 4 days?

Also, I'd imagine/hope this would just be another option given to people, and not something that rips up people's current arrangements such as yours.

Surely every bugger is going to want the Friday off? It won’t be handy for firms with customers to actively deal with.

Working from home is enough for me.

Most people only work about 3 hours in an 8 hour day so 3.5- 4 hours a day, 4 days a week, piece of piss.
The only problem is how do they nip to the shop, book a holiday, post on BM and most importantly, who do they moan and woman to on their extra day off.
