For three weeks this month I either have 3 day weekends or a significant part of the week as time off. It has made me much happier

- nbrempel 7y agoNice! Do you mind me asking what that looks like? Are you an employee or do you set it up as a contractor? I'm curious since I'm building https://30hourjobs.com https://30hourjobs.com and I'm always looking for new resources and companies that support this.
- zitterbewegung 7y agoUh, sorry didn't mention I did this with my own vacation days so it isn't permanent.
- techbio 7y agoToo much of a good thing? Couldn’t find a search bar to narrow down jobs to my preferred locations.
- Vinnl 7y agoI've got a 32 hour contract, so all my weekends are three days. It's great, would highly recommend it if you can afford it, or if you can make small lifestyle changes that would allow you to afford it. (And for nbrempel: I'm an employee at a small startup. Everyone else works 40h, but I asked for a 32h contract with reduced salary and that was fine.)
- blendo 7y agoI also work 32 hours a week, for a major US municipality. I could reduce to 20 hours a week (for half pay) and still receive full health insurance. If you are planning to retire in just a few years (or if you’re a new mother!), do consider 80% work for 80% pay.
- SensateCreature 7y agoI transitioned from working full time to ~20 hours per week. I can't imagine going back.
