My union had been fighting for 32 hours for years. Right when I retired, the college agreed to 36.

I’m “lucky” to have the option of a compressed 4x10 work week
the Friday off is beautiful. if I had a commute, doing that 20% less often that would be a big plus too. but the fact that this is presented as a perk and not a standard option, as well as the requirement to often work on my “weekend” (Friday aka unscheduled day) kind of makes it less of a perk

They pay overtime for that “weekend” work. Right?

yes, I am hourly and get paid for my OT. unfortunately not above base hours at 1.5x rate though, that’s only at the legal requirement of over 44 hours. bit of a mistake on the company’s end, there, as it doesn’t encourage OT since if I’m only going to work 46ish hours this week, why even bother since I’m only making 1.5x on two of those extra six hours
I am always a bit surprised when people ask me that tho lol because like fuck no I would not work for free

Out of curiosity, assuming a lot of this discussion is US-based, which I’m not, do you have the work from home options there very much? I know managers in my organization often work 4-4.5 days but a day or half a day is at home.
Others that can work most of their job from their home! Not sure what this is looking like in other countries these days (I’m in Australia). Obviously depends on the job!
