Would you prefer four 10 hour work days or five 8 hour work days?

[bigrash]

I think I'd like 4x10 better. Getting 3 days off would be nice

 

[djheater]

I currently work five 10 hour work days, so five 8 hour work days would be a nice switch.

 

[ManyBeers]

I have done both in my life. As a machinist I worked 4 ten hour days for 2 years and it was no problem. But now I do construction work and 8 hours is all I can handle. I think it all depends on the type of work one is doing.

 

[Whitecloak]

yes

 

[rh71]

10 hours for sure... I already do 9 at home.

I have this weekend off and I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT IT!!

<- Travels for work 😉

I work 4 10s already, overnight shift. I like it, and so did everybody else in the office; the combined uproar of the 40 of us was enough to make our bosses think twice about switching us to 5 8s.

Whitecloak: where's your sig quote from? It almost sounds like a Bentusi quote from Homeworld/2 games. Edit: NM, i found it... Blade Runner, awesome flick :thumbsup:

Aside from the obvious "I'd prefer not to work" option, I'd do 4x10. My commute is literally 3 mins to work and I generally don't do much on any given day anyways, so my extra 2 hours would probably be just 2 more hours of nothing.

 

[Juno]

beat me, i did 6x12.

i'd go for 4x10 if i were you.

 

[Kenazo]

I'd rather do 4x10, personally. Having every friday off would rock.

 

[habib89]

i'd do a 4/10 schedule if i could

 

[shopbruin]

i'd do 4x10 in a heartbeat if i could! my job won't let us, sigh.

 

[wasssup]

4x10...3 days off sounds sweet...imagine long weekends? 4 days off!

 

[MadPeriot]

I already do 10 hours a day 5 days a week and on call 24/7. But I prefer not to work at all.

 

[Phlargo]

Next year I might be right up there with you Jewno. Hello: first year associate at a law firm. Ouch.

4x10 often means the business still runs 5 days /week. So people don't always get friday or even monday as the 3rd day off, it's could be any day of the week.

 

[Kelemvor]

Make sure you get the 3rd day off in line with the other 2 so it's always 4 on, 3 off and not 2 on, 1 off, 2 on, 2 off or something like that. Always having a 3-day weekend is great. Had that at my last job for a while.

 

[spacelord]

I pretty much work 9 or 10 hour days anyways.. so 4 10-hour days would be GREAT.

 

[NiKeFiDO]

depends on the type of work. a lot.

What's this "work" thing you speak of????

<____Goes back to solitare

 

[GeneValgene]

man i'd kill for those hours...
consulting owns me...60-80 hour weeks with no OT pay...

an old coworker of mine at accenture once worked 217 hours in a 2 week pay period!!!

 

[Apathetic]

I'd take 4 tens in a heartbeat.

-=bmacd=-

yeah doesn't it suck

and i would take the 10 hours 4 days a week, my sister worked a night shift like that and loved it

 

[Armitage]

My company offers a schedule where you can work 9 hour days Mon-Thur, and 8 hour day the first friday, and the 2nd friday off. Was pretty nice, as I was ussually there 9 hours a day anyway.

With my current schedule with the kids (school, daycare, commute, etc.) I can barely get in an 8 hour day 🙁
