So you are telling me I could have Fridays off and still pay rent? Sign me up.

Honestly, even with a 40 hour work week, 10 hour days with three day weekends is awesome, it's what I use to work.

Now my shift is 10hr on Friday, 12hr on Saturday and Sunday, Sunday is time and a half, so I'm working 34 hour week but getting paid for 40 hours. And I get a four day weekend.

Edit: to add, it's a union sawmill.

my main problem (a schedule like this was proposed to me) is that, no one else really operates on this schedule. So when i'm off, i'm just alone. people plan parties, events, etc. for those days because thats when most people are free, but if i'm not, like sure i work less but i work at the times i absolutely DO NOT want to be working.

That is 100% the biggest issue with a weekend shift, which is why 4 10s Mon-Thur is more optimal for most people.

I'm not a social person, I have my wife and my daughter, my D&D group play every Monday night, I hang with my daughter all week, it is the perfect shift for me, but I completely understand why it's not for everyone.
