4 day week, 3 day weekend

• UA5straightin2008

  

  say you work M-F 9-5 (8 hour day, 40 hour week)
  
  would you rather work a schedule like that or work 10 hour days for 4 days a week (still 40 hours) and have a 3 day weekend every weekend (fri, sat, sun)

  wow u have the worst hours in the world.
• rookie_j70

  

  4 10hrs for sure.

  My employer recently tested 4x10's in a couple locations. They found that production dipped and that many employees were no more productive in a 10 hour days then an 8 hour day. The trial lasted 3 months before they ended it and went back to 5x8's.

  true that

  10 hour days kick the hell out of me. Might be better for a younger man, apparently.

  I worked 4 10's at Petsmart Dist and I liked it back in the day. Got a shift differential which was like .50 and one less day of driving and wasting gas. I wish in someways I would have held on to that job in the long term.

  Its perfect for my lifestyle

  At my previous job, I worked 4-10s. Loved it. Although I had Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday off.
  
  I figure, your day is already wasted by working. So, why not waste four days, instead of five.

  Fab1b, Those are great hours. I worked those hours a lot of years and there is nothing better than getting to the club when the girls are already partying and you don't have to get up early in the am.
  
  Hate to warn you of this but when you start having kids, your priorties will change and you won't even give care. Its funny but your kids will make you grow up!!
• Fab1b

  

  I'm not having kids!!

  Ain't that the truth! I'd much prefer 4 10's, however in my case it would have to be more like 4 15's...
• dave

  yeah what if you work 5 10s already? do those of you who work only 40hrs get paid hourly or salary?
• power i

  

  I work 4 10's but my day off is Tuesday. It's nice having a day off during the week to make Dr. appointments, do the grocery shopping, etc. so you don't have to try to get it done on the weekends.
• gorocks99

  

  Yeah, I already work 5 10+ days. Four 10 hour days would be like a Godsend.
• j_crazy

  

  some of our offices do this, mainly our 2 corporate offices.
• Thunder70

  

  I worked 3 x 12 for a couple of years and am now working 5 x 8. That being said, I miss my scheduled vacation time. Two day weekends suck.
• fan_from_texas

  I would love 4x10. I think we're currently more like 5x11 + 1x4.

  I only work 40hrs, but I'm on what they call salary+, so if I do work overtime I get paid time and a half. They don't allow us to work overtime very often.
