I did a 4 day week experiment couple years back. I used the leave time to book every Friday through upcoming four months. I loved the experiment a lot. It's not only an extra day you get (50% increase in free time) but also an extra night (100% increase!). Saturdays sometimes felt like "Sundays" and it was good to remind myself there's a whole extra day to live life. When I asked to make 4-day week a thing, at least for me, the request was rejected. The reasoning had to do with "synergy" in a team and lack of much overlap in a remote team. Example I was given: if everyone started taking 4-day weeks it might be that Bob has Mondays off, Kate is off on Wednesday, and I would be out on Friday. Fair enough. We are trialing a longer (2-3 moths at a time)time offs. Hopefully the experiment sticks. Having loads of free time is the best!
