The 4-day workweek was a longshot. The UAW isn’t giving up ( www.cnn.com )

Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure I inform you that I have just been hired onto a new job and it is a 3-day work week. Am much pleased. Believe me, my whole life I’ve been working 5 or 6 day work weeks working my ass off for very little pay, finally I have this reprieve. In these three days I am earning as much as I would normally earn in five or six days. Again I express my gratitude and I hope someday everyone in the world may feel this reprieve.

What is your trade if I may ask ?

I’m curious how many hours you work in one day? I work three 12hr shifts. It’s still better than working that M-F 9-5 nonsense

Man, I’d kill for a 3 day work week. I’m on a 9-80 schedule but also have to go into the office (1hr each way) 2 days a week, so I end up spending around 10 hours per day on avg Mon-Thurs and it’s absolutely miserable.

Even just a 32 hour 4-day work week would be life changing. As is, I feel like I’m just wasting time half the time i spend working because I’m so burnt out that I’m not as productive as I would be otherwise.

Good for you though. Glad to hear some employers are trying out something more conducive to how human beings actually function.
