4x8hours. If the place needs people on site 24/7, weekend warriors should do 3x8 hour days for the same weekly pay.

4 x 8.5 or i’m out

I did four 10s the last decade, but a promotion moved me to five 8s. I tell people I’d give $5k a year to go back to four 10s.

Well first im going to assume a 40 hour work week which its just a sin that it has not been reduced and further worse with unpaid overtime. But will assume 40 hours. I will also assume wfh as that makes a difference. Yeah 4 day 10 hours is likely best and I would further like to start at 9am because I don’t like to wake up to early but for a 10 hour day doing any later becomes a bit problematic.

workweek

It’s okay to write it with the hyphen still in-place. If you’re going for English, it’s correct to do so.

I have a 10-8-8-10 work week. 4 days on. 3 days off. I love it. And it’s in a retail environment too which is like a holy grail sometimes.

The less, the better

It depends on the job. For research I prefer everyday but not too many hours.

I had to change to part time work because medical reasons, but they didn’t actually care what hours I worked. After a bit of experimentation, I found 9am to 1pm, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday to be my perfect work week.

4 days a week, 4-6 hours per day. Having a third weekend day is wonderful, and it really helps with running errands and making appointments. And I have a hard time doing anything for more than 6 hours in a day tops. Unless I’m on my meds, I’ve got about 3 hours of focus before lunch and three after, and that’s it. Which isn’t much of a problem in my current role, where I usually have more time than I need. What I hate the most is the obligation to sit at my desk for 8 hours a day, every fay, even when there’s nothing to do

“We don’t care when or how you work, just get your work done and be available for calls when needed.”

Easier said than done but there are a few positions where this sort of thing is possible.

I’ve worked a bunch of different schedules. I like to call myself a full stack help desk (IT).

So far my favourite has been on call nights from home.

When I was young Ioved a 3x12 schedule, three twelve hour days with a day off in between, something like T-F-D or W-F-D, and noon-midnight the important thing being to work Friday and Sunday nights.

Now that I’m middle-aged with kids, my ideal is more like a 6x6 in the morning, ideally M—S 8:30a-2:30p.

10 to 6 (with the occasional overtime) with 1 to 1h30 lunch break, 4 days a week.

I work a 9/80 currently (so 9 hours a day every Monday through Thursday and then alternating 8 hours every other Friday with a Friday off) and I have grown to love it so much I think I would have an extremely hard time taking a five day workweek job. I also think I would easily work for 10s if it were an option as a constant three day weekend would be wonderful.

I have done my own research on my productivity levels and found that I pretty much get nothing done on working Fridays anyhow, leading me to believe a 35 ish hour four day workweek would be more than sufficient to get everything I currently do done. That’s notwithstanding the fact that during each day I swing back and forth between high and low productivity too, so really something closer to like 25 hours a week of total work is accurate. So something like a certain minimum mandatory set of hours with flexible time to get your tasks done as others have suggested would be the ultimate solution.
