Four day work weeks, has anyone's company tried them? We're debating it. I love the idea, but not sure I'll want to work four 10 hour days each week.

Our warehouse employees have this schedule. We asked if they wanted to stay five days a week or move to four 10-hour days, and they unanimously elected for 10-hour days. But it doesn't really make sense for a lot of our office based employees because of meetings and the need for them to be here during the standard business week.

My company has talked about it but I don't think it will actually work. I keep hoping they make a move towards it though. I would love to have a three day weekend every week.

I have seen mixed reactions to four day schedules. Some people enjoy the longer weekend, while others find the ten hour days exhausting. It really depends on the type of work and the flexibility built into the schedule.
