How the fuck do I get 12 hours free?!?!

not having two days off in a row would kinda suck, but getting paid for 40 hours on 28 hours of work sounds amazing. 60 hours of PTO kinda sucks though, i get five weeks (200 hours) of just vacation.

28 hours a week.
Job pays like 40 hours a week.

You get paid for the additional 12 hours for free.

Do the math.

I don't understand the "pays like 40 hours/week" part. I think. I mean is that saying you're getting paid full time despite being part time or what?

If I were retired or straight out of high school and was just looking for a part time thing to keep busy then sure I might go for that.

Getting some weekdays off regularly would be nice for avoiding crowds but it'll be tougher to coordinate activities with friends who work regular 9-5s. Plus not getting 2 days off in a row kinda sucks.

The PTO is over a week less than I currently get (and I am on the low end of the totem pole as I am still fairly new to my current job and receive the least PTO/year possible). But you wouldn't have to take as many days especially if you plan things around the 3 day week. I'm honestly not sure if that's a deal breaker or not.

For example, if you make $30/hour, on a 40-hour work week, you make $1200/week. With the 28-hour work week, you'd still earn $1200/week. So it's actually $42.86/hour.

I see. Shit I'd take it now then.

Yeah no consecutive days off kinda blows, but the hours are nice

and you just expect the employer to agree to that?

oh and my response to the question in the OP heavily depends on the salary offered. i dont care how good the hours are, if the pay is below my means there's no way i'd take the job

I don't care what kind pf whacky schedule I'd have to work, 12 hours of pay free is an instant yes

Lmao no. Maybe when I was fresh out of high school, but not now. That sounds horrible long term.

Come to think of it you would get a few double days off for holidays assuming they give you the nearest work day off, like getting Monday off if the holiday is on a Sunday. And if you get both Thanksgiving Day and the day after off, do they move those around to potentially give you up to 4 days off in a row without using PTO?

No, that looks awful. Not having consecutive days off would stink.

I did once work a four ten-hour shift job that gave three consecutive days off each week, and that was nice back when I was single.

Likely no. I would rather work 3-5 days in a row and have the occasional 2 day weekend like I do now.

Union job, 70 hours/2 weeks, and roughly 120 hours of PTO that carries over year to year (I currently have over 200 on the books despite taking a full 2 weeks the last 2 years plus lots of other individual days).

If the pay was good enough and I didn't hate the job, maybe for a year or two.
