6hr days, 4 days a week

likesmartfunny

I would def prefer 8hr/days and having an extra day in the weekend.

It’s really varied. US companies are probably the last to try any of these out.

8 hours/4 days, easily. Imagine what I'd accomplish during the week if I actually had time to rest over the weekend!

Can you try both? I’m leaning towards 6hr

4 day workweeks are nice, but ultimately unrealistic. The rest of the world keeps working all 5 days even if you don't, so things pile up on your desk the day that you're away - creating twice as much work for your first day back. Give me the 6/5.

8hrs a day for 4 days definitely… after all 9-5pm was basically 8hrs for 5 days so getting a free day every week will be awesome …..question is will the pay remain the same?

As a single 24 year old, I’d take the 8x4. I feel like older people or people with kids would opt more for the 6x5

I’d do 8 def.

8x4 please, having days off work really helps with work-life balance. I'd spent them at home or have the whole day being outside.

I started full time at an agency mid pandemic so have never once worked in the office. I find myself working 50+ hour weeks even from home.

Will working from the office somehow decrease the work load and increase productivity? Genuinely curious who wants to go back and why.

I feel like it’s reasonable to not kill myself further to fit in more/turn things around faster at this point, but am I being unreasonable?
