I worked at a place with every other week Fridays off. It was amazing. People could actually go to Dr appts. Actually made us much more productive.

I have been working 4/5 (fridays off) and it was amazing.

I’m quite sure I was at least as productive as any one on 5/5.

I had 12 weeks of paternity leave at my last job. The only rule was that, as secondary caregiver, I couldn’t take it all at once.

I spread out the last 8 weeks and took every other Friday off for several months. It was awesome, and if it reduced my productivity, the difference was imperceptible. I had to be a little more keyed in on Mondays, sure, but I always felt more than capable after a long weekend.
