Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Without a doubt!! I actuallly did this a few summers back when I had the option and it was great! 3-day weekend every week in the summer...doesn't get any better than that! I only wish I could do it now that I have DD.

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

I would work the 4 days and do the 1/2 lunch

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Yes - especially since you can pick the day each week, that's awesome.

I'd even settle for every other Friday!!!

I can do that year round! I work extra, save up to 24 hours and then can take them whenever. Every Friday, every other Friday or any day of the week!

I am building back up to it but I will be doing every other Friday this summer!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

I would not hesitate to do this!!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Most definitely, we had this at my old job all year round. There was no way I wasn't taking advantage of it.

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

For the past two years I have taken one paid vacation day per week for the 10 weeks that make up the summer. This will be year number 3 and I wouldn't have it any other way. I get to spend quality time with my DD and it's fabulous!!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Heck yeah..in a minute!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Yes!!!! I wish I had that option!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Helll yes!!!!

I wonder why so many people arent? There has to be a reason? I can see it not working out schedule wise for some, maybe those with young children. But it seems like the far majority are opting out.

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

YES!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

OMG heck ya I would jump at that. I actually worked those hours last summer prior to putting DS in daycare and I LOVED it. I got more done in those 2 additional hours since the office was empty then I do working a 5 day work week.

I did spend a lot less time with DS on those 4 days, but that additional 24 hours I could spend with him was well worth it.

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Yes I would. Dh is on a 4 day work week, every week and he loves it.

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

In a heartbeat!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

I do it now, so yes.

I work 6:30-4:30 M,T, R, F and i'm home on Wednesdays. However, I am also part-time working from home on Wednesdays so they actually get more work out of me this way than a traditional position.

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

WOW ... `100% YES

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Absolutely!!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Yes

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

DH has a 9/5/4 schedule in the summer...9 hours a day for a whole week, then the next week he works Mon-Thurs and gets Friday off...last summer it was great, my job was very flexible so I took off the Fridays he had off. It was nice to have the time together.

If I had the option I'd do it...as it is, I only get out a half hour early on Fridays from Memorial Day to Labor Day

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

I would JUMP on this opportunity. I am shocked more people at your work aren't doing it!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

I am a SAHM but I would LOVE it if DH had this option!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

Sure, if I enjoyed my job. Currently I only work 6hrs a day so 10hrs might be a bit much for me...its a tough one but I'll probably be in the minority here and have to say no.

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

My work schedule is this exactly and I LOVE it. I could never go back to working 5 days a week again.

Re: Would you do a 4-day work week for the summer if given the option?

my agency does this, but I dont like working more then 8 hours if i dont have to. I actually do it once a month so its not that hard. We r only allowed to do it every other week.
