I’ve been working 4 days a week informally for a decade. Everyone checks out on Fridays with the exception of the rare fire.
I suspect it’s the same for other information workers.
- _glass 2y agoWhen I was working in consulting this was so unfair. I as a developer was hacking away on Fridays, while the rest was relaxing.
- jimbob45 2y agoEveryone checks out on Fridays with the exception of the rare fire. But, crucially, we're all still present or within arm's reach. It seems more likely that we'll get 5 short days rather than 4 long ones so that everyone is on hand should things arise while, at the same time, acknowledging that long days become quickly inefficient.
