Current Events > Work 9-5 five days a week, or 8-6 four days a week?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Girl told me that she works 8-6 but also gets an extra day off, so that she is mostly working 4 day weeks.

Which of those would you prefer?
---

I'd rather keep my schedule of 9-5, seven days a week.

You don't have lunches?

8-6 by far

The current office culture routine needs to die

Alternatively I would be okay doing M/Tu 8-6, taking Wednesday off, then Th-F 8-6 (then normal weekend).

I do think that a break in the middle of the week would be great. I had that in college, Wednesdays off, and I felt so much more fresh and energized.

i enjoy working 7:30-3:30 personally
---

4 days of work with 3 days off is how it should be at the least.
---

I do 7 to 6 with an hour lunch four days a week. Wednesday is my day off amd it is glorious.
---

7 am? Way too early. I would have to leave my house at like 5:40 am to get to work.
---

4 pm to 12 am master race
---

---

oof, that is a hell of a drive

8-6 four days a week for sure. The extra 2 hours is negligible when your day is mostly fucked after commuting and traffic on the way home.

Many good employers generally give 10 hour shifts with Saturday and Sunday off with another day in between like Wednesday so their employees dont burn out and start to resent their job.

I work 6pm to 4am, 4 days a week.

9-5 is 8 hours. So you work less than 8 hours a day?
---

4 day week, easily.

I don't have a lunch break, I eat for 5 minutes at my desk.

most places don't actually schedule people for 8 hours in a day because then 5 minutes extra becomes overtime for the week
---

I'd rather work 4 ten hour days and have the rest of the week off. But not gonna happen.
---

Many salaried white collar jobs mandate a 1-hour lunch break, which means the typical 8-hour work day actually runs 8-5, so a 10-hour day would run 7-6 or 8-7. I'd still much prefer that, though. An additional day of eliminating the commute and dress code would be welcomed. Having a traditional work day off would also be helpful when running errands and scheduling appointments, and squeezing a mini vacation out of a three day weekend is actually quite doable.

When I was hourly, hour lunch didn't count towards total hours worked. So you would be "at work" for for 8.5 or 9 hours, but have an unpaid 30 or 1hr lunch break scheduled in between.

40 hours, four days in a six day long week would be perfect for me, but that's not possible under the seven day week system this world has developed.
---

Having worked a 4 day on, 3 day off schedule for 4 years now, it's something I'd never want to change.

Ah

I used to work 4 12s, and that was the best.
Overtime plus 3 days off.

So I have to choose between morning rush hour at 8 or evening rush hour at 5?

Can I just kill myself instead?
---

8-6, having the three day week ends are so OP.

6-2 or 10-7 = best schedule

Depends on what activities you like. For me, many art galleries close at 6 so I would miss a lot in that regard if I worked until 7. Many evening classes start at 6:30, so I wouldn't be able to do those classes.

8-6 four days a week, and it's not even close. Having an extra free day more then makes up for working two extra hours each day.
