This is my dream, but I don't know any companies that have actually made the transition yet in the US. It sounds like the results were wildly successful in the European countries that have tried it. Would you prefer a three-day weekend or a day off midweek?

I wish, I work in the military sector of logistics. Everything is next day or second day service. 6 days a week, including Saturdays.

I have my team on a 4/3 schedule, they love it. They have th, F, Sa or Su, M, Tu off.

Yes, we work M-Th and have F off. I like working longer hours and having Fridays off!!

When I worked for Bechtel National, we had a 4x10 schedule. I love it! Got in my hours and still had a 3 day weekend! I only wish more companies would do this.

Yes. I actually loved it. My off is every Friday :)

I am okay with it. However, the day off is not consistent. They want us to change our days off every two weeks.
