Have you done it or worked with people who have?
Worked really well for the people who I knew who did it. Highly productive and the two 4 day weekends a month seemed great.
My point wasn't that this was better than an additional day off and less work. My point is that this should be acceptable today, and I'm surprised there isn't more buy in for flexible schedules like this.
- jartelt 8y agoI worked somewhere that did 9 hour days with every other Friday off. It basically made Fridays unproductive because half the company was off every Friday and it seemed like you always ended up needing to talk to someone who was off that Friday in order to make progress. I certainly liked the Fridays off. But, I'd say the 9 hours part was not optimal. Salaried employees typically already put in that much time so it didn't affect them. Hourly employees didn't seem to be that much more productive. They were just there longer and probably took slightly longer lunches... I feel like just instilling a hard working culture and giving the whole company every other Friday off would have been better for productivity.
