I work four days a week and take good care of myself. It sets me apart. Last I saw the numbers, my sales for the month were more than time and a half the second place employee’s. I am the stand out employee since my friend got a promotion. And I’m probably in line for the next one. If I work a fifth day, I have a mental breakdown. I promise. I Iove my job with everything in me, but I’ve never been stable working five days a week. I’m a high performance individual, and not overworking myself is essential to maintaining that.
Not overworking to maintain high performance is something missed or not cared about by so many companies.
It’s like taking care of your chickens gives them a better life so they produce better and more eggs so you make more money. It’s pretty obvious you take care of those you farm for your own benefit (as the rich farm us).
It you just stop sleeping, you’ll be able to add 8 working hours per day! You can start at 11pm, stop at 7am and still have the entire day to work more at you’re job. It’ll add 40 working hours per week, 2080 hours or 260 working days for your boss!
It won’t set you apart because, Jeffrey who does half the work of everyone else, is really good at selling himself and kissing ass. Your boss is just as overworked as everyone else is. And it’s basically running on vibes at this point in time. So Jeffrey is going to get that next promotion.
Have fun working on the weekends and in a couple of months, working under Jeffrey!
That’s only partially valid though. You gotta get up and get ready either way. I know some people don’t shower in the mornings and even worse: some don’t brush their teeth, but aside from the 1 minute job of putting on your clothes, you can’t count that.
I work 4 hours on Sundays but get paid for those hours as if I was working the whole day. I have Wednesday off instead which makes grocery shopping much more enjoyable because the supermarket is near empty during off peak hours
If I get up at 4am, I'm going to bed at 8pm. So I'm not saving any time, I'm stealing time from my evening to work in the morning. That's what it ultimately comes down to...stealing personal time to spend on working...
If I’m getting up at 4am on the weekends it means I’m going to be running on ~3 hrs of sleep. Which is fine because at least I’ll get a few hours of quiet before everyone else wakes up. (Also why I stay up til 1am)
I get up at 4am on days I have to go to the office. Driving an hour to work at 4:30 sucks but it’s better than driving 2 hours to work at 6:30.
On Fridays I either have the day off or have to work 4 hours, alternating each week.
I get up at 4am on the working Friday and finish at 8 exactly like this guy suggests because it feels like I have every week being a 3 day weekend.
It is shit cramming a full working week into Mon-Thursday though. My employer implemented the 4 day work week if we wanted. You still have the work the hours though, so it’s quite shit.
I know quite a few people just went back to working 5 days to shorten each day.
That's not the same thing at all. You're already getting up at 4am normally on Friday, and you apparently only work 4 and a half days a week. This meme assumes you work 9-5 5 days a week, and advocates that you spend more time outside those hours working.
