Four day work week I love having 3 days off!

4 with a good balance, but honestly zero if I could afford it lol

4, because it is less than 5

4 day week - sets the standard of a healthy work-life balance.

Its just for market research, friends! lol

I don’t think 5/8 or 4/10 are where we should be in this day and age. I think most people would be just as effective or even more so working 32 hours a week.

Are we talking 4 10s work week or still eight hrs and 4 days?

I prefer 0 days lol. But 4 will suffice.

what roles or conpanies have a 4 day work week? Ive heard about for some government roles and a couple startup, definitely interesting

4 day. More uninterrupted free time

4 day workweek would be way better. 2 days off just feels too short.

This is one of the cases where less is definitely more. Working 4 days a week is much better than 5.

I think if we move to 4 days the hours should not be redistributed. So it should be a 4 day 32 hour week not a 4 day 40 hour week. Otherwise it’s just too much. Are we supposed to spend 10 hours a day in the office too?

Read that McK is paying 2K higher than BCG this year which means BCG will probably raise again next year to at least match. However, they can’t just copy McK with 2K to match because that would look bad so they’ll have to beat it again. Then McK and Bain will follow. Barring a devastating recession, I’m guessing this means MBB is all getting raises again next year?

I’ve gradually moved on from ex-bf from 1y ago, but still to this day have this greatest fear that I’d crumble if and when I hear he is getting engaged or married to someone.

It’s just that feelings of unworthy, unloveable, not chosen by someone you love so dearly continue to haunt me after all these times. Anyone has tips to get through this?

Hi all! My past role was a pretty toxic environment - extremely unrealistic & ever-changing expectations & condescending behavior & an overall mean & anxiety riddled atmosphere. Any advice on what to ask future companies when interviewing to really dig & uncover any red flags? Getting real feedback & a true sense of things can be difficult bc typically you get back what they want you want to hear. Probing questions that might allow to read btwn the lines & uncover negative atmosphere? Thanks!

Question that could belong here or in the Relationships bowl:

How do women prefer to be turned down if the guy they’re pursuing is not interested. I know men have the capacity to deal with rejection poorly, and I’m not suggesting otherwise. But in my anecdotal experience , women take the gentle “no thanks, not interested” poorly.
