    I guess reproduction didn’t make the cut, hence the crashing birth rates.

  This. If I take another 1st shift job, I will make sure it’s 10hr shifts with the same week day off weekly.

    4-day work weeks are great, especially if you have a significant commute, because you’re cutting 20% of that right out. the adding 2 hours to every work day, not so much; but the longer hours can mean that traffic is a bit lighter. the guaranteed week day off is huge when you have ‘stuff’ to do.

      I absolutely hate commuting. If there’s one thing I learned in the spring/summer of 2020, it’s that not driving to work is awesome.

        The people who still had to commute places during that time also learned commuting is not stressful at all when theres barely any people commuting

        Almost like theres just too many people expected to commute to work, all at the same damn times

        Almost like if there was someway to offset start times and keep as many people WFH as possible, our lives would be 20x better

        But no. Fuck you. You show up at the same time as the rest of the city, and you make profits for the overlords just like everyone else, fuck your life and happiness

        Driving is really fun unless your just sitting in traffic, the problem is not getting paid for the time you spend commuting

    A few months ago there was a major leadership change at my job. The guy who was 50% of the interviewers who recommended hiring me is now second from the top and my direct manager (I’m not third from the top, my company’s hierarchy is confusing).

    Suddenly, after most of a decade of it never once being a problem, I have been forced from my 4x10 schedule into a standard 5x8. I fucking hate it.

      I feel for you. That sucks to have your life thrown into chaos for a decimal number on the balance sheet.

      I thought you were saying that the other way around, and was hoping to hear why you like 5x8 more

      because yeah, I like 4x10 more. actually, I like having the flexibility to do either one based on how I feel that week and the needs of the company. I like knowing that I can get my 40 hours in and fuck off whenever I want Thursday afternoon for a 3-day weekend, or I can bleed into Friday as much as I want if there are meetings that need to have happen or other work I want to get done by end of week.

      I get that some people would prefer 5x8 because they have before or after work obligations, but that’s not me so I would rather have a proper weekend.
