I’m curious how many hours you work in one day? I work three 12hr shifts. It’s still better than working that M-F 9-5 nonsense
Comment on The 4-day workweek was a longshot. The UAW isn’t giving up

Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure I inform you that I have just been hired onto a new job and it is a 3-day work week. Am much pleased.

I work 4 hours a day. Three days a week. My manager explained to me he keeps everyone at 3 days a week so we don’t get burnt out. And I’m pretty sure on their end they keep us at 3 days a week so they don’t have to consider us full-time employees and pay out benefits 🤷🏻♀️ So there’s that. I don’t need benefits though. I’m a military veteran so I’ve got benefits there.

Oh, ya. I could work like that, but I need health insurance, sadly.

Man, I’d kill for a 3 day work week. I’m on a 9-80 schedule but also have to go into the office (1hr each way) 2 days a week, so I end up spending around 10 hours per day on avg Mon-Thurs and it’s absolutely miserable.
Even just a 32 hour 4-day work week would be life changing. As is, I feel like I’m just wasting time half the time i spend working because I’m so burnt out that I’m not as productive as I would be otherwise.
Good for you though. Glad to hear some employers are trying out something more conducive to how human beings actually function.

What is your trade if I may ask ?
