I think it's funny a lot of comments are saying they would be angry about not being able to work on that Friday. I'm not particularly sure why you would be upset if your employer offered to pay you 40 hr/week salary and only expected you to work ~32 hours.
They place value in that day assuming you will use it to rest. Working on it would be counter productive to what they see it being useful for.
- bmelton 16y agoLoss of momentum. When I'm coding, and I'm on a tear, I generally won't stop for drinks, food, or any other outside distractions. It's this exact reason that I abhor the cubicle culture so much, as it tends to invite distractions, generally when I'm in the midst of my greatest productivity. If I'm on a roll with something, I don't want to chance that I'll come back from a three day weekend every week and have to remember where I left off, or spend that time trying to get back in the groove. One of the best places I worked (now defunct) allowed for you to work hours per week -- if you worked over, you were credited it for the next week. It was great to crank out marathon sessions, and then, between projects, you could take the remainder of the time off, to rest. So if I spent 7 days straight on a project, I could take 4 days to rest and be 'neutral' on my schedule balance (assuming 8 hour days).
- twymer 16y agoI can definitely see this side of the complaints. The side I was arguing against was everyone's outrage that you couldn't just use Friday to moonlight.
- jlees 16y agoThe majority of Carsonified employees do not, however, code. I think this distinction is lost somewhere in all the anti-moonlighting ranting.
