Interesting to see this coming up so often here lately. Especially because I didn't get the raise I hoped for this year I went for it and asked if I could cut down to a 4 day week thinking that they would say no because it's quite cumbersome to work around something like that for the rest of the company but they said yes. I'm starting in august every other week I take the Friday and Monday off creating a 4 day weekend. I'm hoping to use this time to do more music, to prepare food for a better diet (I'm overweight because I never have the energy and time to really take better care of my food habits) and perhaps even work on some interesting home automation projects. We start temporarily for half a year and revisit the decision end of January. Money wise I'm just going back where I was 2 years ago so that's quite ok. The only drawback I can see is that the work projects accumulate 2 days of changes which I will need to catch up to every other week.
