I head at Collaborative you get every other Friday off. Do you actually get to take it off or do you end up getting pulled into client work?

You do take it off. At least that has been the case for me.

You get it off after 90 days of employment. They are good about telling clients it’s your day off but sometimes I’m sure sh*t happens

Do you want your bonus?

Exactly. You still work the same amount of hours. It's not time off - just time worked at a different time.

That’s awesome. I’ve heard lots of good things about CS. Would be amazing to have a 3 day long weekend every other week. You could just extend that with your PTO and get several nice breaks throughout the year.

Yep!

80 hours into 9 days, every other Friday gets blocked off. Pushed heavily by the C suite and people abide by it.

I’m at Collaborative and since I work in post-prod, I take every other Monday off and love it (we have a choice between Mon/Fri). I work 9 hour days each day to be able to clock 80 hours over 9 days. Love it because I still get full autonomy over creating my own schedule and picking my own clients/projects. I have a flex Monday coming up this week actually after a busy week. I plan to do nothing at all😎

And no it does not impact my bonus. We have a 75% utilization target and at least in post-prod you will NEVER have a problem hitting that even if you take time off. I take PTO and balance days every quarter in addition to my flex Monday and still hit over my utilization target to gain a bigger bonus 🤷🏾‍♂️

I remember when I first started working on my thesis project. My adviser asked me to get some funding for it, but he didn't give me any advice about how to do that. He just told me that if I wanted money for my project, I'd have to go through some kind of committee process and submit an application for funding from them. Sure enough, after weeks of writing applications and waiting around for responses from the committee members (who were always too busy), I eventually got approved for funding!
