NEW TOPIC: "The Four Day Working Week"

Having recently enjoyed the Bank Holiday Monday, I was wondering how others would feel about working a 4-day week all the time?

Would you be happy to work longer hours, in order to have a day off, or would you feel too much pressure in having to complete tasks faster?

Funnily enough, i have just devised a 4 day week for the call centre i work in

We got 40 agents(10 a week to trial it)

They would have to work 3 10 hour days and one 7 hour day(monday to thursday)

35 of the agents who did it wanted to stay on it even if it was only one week out of 4

There's too much to get done to work four days. I generally stay late at work anyay, you can get things done quicker with no one there.

That reminds me of the 28 Hour Day.

It's not exactly the most practical of solutions, but I would like to try it!

For domestic reasons, I currently do a four day week - four ten hour days. I've been doing it for nearly four years now and I have to say that whilst it is nioce to have an extra day off, the working days are too long, exhausting and leave no time for anything else and I think my work/life balance is worse as a result. I prefer to do five shorter days.
