That would be the dream! However all these companies are too shellfish to care about their employees life and work balance. All they care about is spend less make ALL.

Correct. The only caveat was I had to work 1 weekend day as a part of the deal.

I'm ready for my company to start testing a 6 day workweek from 7.

It is very unfortunate that you are expected to work 7 days a week. Everyone needs a day off on occasion. I do realize that some very successful people work 24/7 but that should not be expected in many roles. A four-day work week wouldn't work for many roles.

I could definitely support 4 days a week, 8 hours only.

Yes. There are some on the other team doing it. I’m not sure I want to. I’m cool with one day off a pay period.

I worked for a company that had 3/2 and it was basically a 3 day work week…

Not a chance. Busy season(s) are so extreme that I am trying to reduce to 6 days per week. Or return to previous line of work —- that was truly enjoyable and challenging rather than chaotic and high stress.

Never!

Started talking to this guy through group a group telegram and one day he offered to pay for my lunch as I had helped him out with something. Since then he has been offering to pay for my dinners, salon visits, shopping etc and I have accepted 3-4 times. I am in a steady relationship and my boyfriend doesn’t know about this. The other guy just says he likes paying for my stuff and there’s no agenda. Is this a little weird?
