Love it? I would cherish it, adore it, and be the best employee the world has ever seen for that kind of schedule lol. I really don't understand why places haven't gone to that type of schedule yet. I've ran numbers, and I think it would save companies money.

Thanks for sharing :)

No. I have disciplined myself to get my work done in eight hours and leave when the clock strikes 5 p.m. The 8:30 to 5 p.m. with 30 mins. for lunch is fine. Coming in at 7:30 a.m. and leaving at 6 p.m. would not be, even if it meant getting a Monday or Friday off to get a three-day weekend every week. I think it would either be a waste of two hours for the four days or result in a backlog from the "fifth day" that would make the 4 work days even harder.

That's an interesting take.

I would not trade the limited hours I have w my kids in the evening

It was a very nice work schedule! Would rotate Monday and Friday with work partner so we always had a four day weekend it was fantastic

Of course I would love to.

Does anyone like ID work? Currently doing work at a PI/Medmal plaintiffs firm while in school and trying to figure out where I’ll be happiest post-grad. I LOVE it, but don’t know if ID will provide more security. For context, I had a, albeit, short career prior to law school and will 30 when I graduate in May. Comp and WLB are important given my later start.

I do miss seeing my colleagues sometimes but being able to actually use random breaks in the day that you get in transactional, especially as a junior, productively (work out, cook a meal, fold laundry) has made this job so much easier and sustainable for me. It’s still exhausting and so unpredictable and the December crush is killing me but I don’t know how anyone did this for more than a year or two pre-Covid when people spent all day and evening in the office.
