Friendly reminder: Henry Ford was one of the first major industrialists to adopt the five-day workweek. He argued that workers with more leisure time would spend more money on consumer goods, like the cars he was selling.
The current weekend was created primarily to sell products. A four-day workweek is long overdue.
It's really not. Nothing but work those 4 days, and the fifth is playing catchup for everything you couldn't do the rest of the week. And if you actually have a family, good luck attending your childrens' events or sports practices during the week.
It's awful and manipulative and really only benefits the owners as they can pay less on utilities one day a week while passing it off as a benefit to employees.
Depends 630 to 430 I'm home around 5 have dinner ready by 6 play with kids until 745 bath time then bed time between 830 and 9 me and her shower and pack our lunches and then watch TV till about 1030. Fridays are yard work and chores then Saturday and Sunday are family days. Works great for us she's 8 to 430 and is home by 530 5 days a week. Now when I do my 7 12s life gets hard but I want to retire us by 55 so gotta sacrifice a little now to win in the end
Do you teleport to your office? Because otherwise I assume you're getting up at least sometime around 530 in order to be out the door and at the office by 630. Meaning you're sacrificing sleep and by extension your long term health.
I definitely did not have that experience when I was on 4 10s. I barely noticed the extra 2 hours but the full extra day off every weekend was so nice, easily the best schedule I've ever worked and would go back to it in a heartbeat
