Working 10 hours a day for four days is simply not an option anywhere in the private sector.
Most competitive company white collar staff probably put in a little over 9 anyhow.
- flump_master 10y agoThis is not correct. The 4 x 10 schedule exists in engineering companies and operating companies in the oil refining industry. Source: I work I. This industry and amange people who work a 4day x 10 hour weekly work schedule. This 4 X 10 schedule or something similar (9/80) is useful to attract and retain engineering talent.

- protomyth 10y agoMy friends doing cable laying were on 4x10. I don't think it's that rare for field work. Something about making logistics easier. We did 4x10 in the summer (we're public though). We did MTWH then TWHF and repeat giving a 4 day weekend then a 2 day weekend.
- edblarney 10y agoFor labour, anything that can be fairly well measured in 'hours in' certainly anything paid by the hour, it makes sense. But it is definitely rare in office environments anywhere in a competitive field.
- protomyth 10y agoI'm still convinced that programmers working 35-40 hours weeks will generate more correct code than "high performance" office environments working 60-80 hours a week.
