Many USA creative agencies have half days on Friday in the summer. That's gotten me to thinking...
What I'm looking for is 40 hrs one week, but 32 the next. The result would be every other Friday off. Then align thoses Fridays with Monday holidays, that would yield a number of 4 day weekends.
So an average of 36 hrs per week (10% less than the current standard) with a beautiful increase in recovery time.
- dudul 5y agoCompanies doing that are very smart in my opinion. What do people actually get done on a Friday afternoon? Might as well get the PR points and make people happy. It's akin to how some companies just close the office between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Again, a smart move. What do people actually get done during these 4 days? Might as well look like a nice, caring company.
- inglor_cz 5y agoInterestingly, I always got done quite a lot more on Friday afternoon, with much less buzz around, thus more concentration.
- dudul 5y agoI'll be honest, despite my previous comment, I'm the same. I actually love the Holiday week where half the company is out traveling and the other half is just futzing. But I recognize that I (and apparently you as well :) ) am an outlier.
