- StavrosK 12y agoThanks, but that was a bit of an inside joke between coworkers :) As a data point, I am currently full-time employed, it just happens that I prefer full-time being four days a week. I recently made the switch from five to four, and I'm enjoying it immensely.
- suhailpatel 12y agoI really want to do this just so I can get some time to work on my own projects. How did you sell this to your employers (or are they one of a very few shops which do the 4 day week thing like Treehouse)
- cromulent 12y agoI've seen people do this. "I want to work 4 days per week". "OK, no problem, we will reduce your salary / bonus etc by 20%". Time passes. "Ok, I am doing the same job for 80% of the salary and I never make my bonus". ":)".
- StavrosK 12y agoI bill daily, in 8-hour blocks. All those hours belong to my employer, and I do as much work as needed. Any more work than that needs to allocate more 8-hour blocks. I know that being a salaried employee is different, but if you're letting people work you into 10-hour days, don't.
- StavrosK 12y agoI just asked if I could work 20% less for 20% less pay, and they agreed. Your mileage may vary, the company I work for is pretty cool.
- thibaut_barrere 12y agoAhah! I totally felt for it :) I'm totally with you to prefer a shorter full-time schedule.
