I am not a company owner and an employer. But when I will be, I will always make my business an Earth-friendly one and help my employees have better lives.

I like waking up thinking "this is my last day of work" or "tomorrow is my last day of work"... this is a great feeling of never working more than 2 days in a row! @ youngandtrhifty,

Funny enough, I have decided to take Wednesdays off… I like waking up thinking “this is my last day of work” or “tomorrow is my last day of work”… this is a great feeling of never working more than 2 days in a row!

So you're kind of working an extended day, right? I'm happy that it's working out well for you. =) I would so happy if I could have a long weekend every week! Though sometimes I find I spend more on days off. I work a 9 day fortnight and have about every other weekday off. That’s not bad at all!

I have managed to work 33 hours on 4 days and get 88% of my pay check so it's not that bad. Most of the time you either have to work your 37-40 hours on longer shift over 4 days or accept a pay check cut. @Studenomics, Thx for the idea! I'll write a post on that shortly! @FP,

They don't realize that they would optimize their business schedule.... oh well... they will learn! @DGI,

Unfortunately, I would suspect that most employers aren't overly receptive to having 4-day work weeks even though employees can potentially be equally as effective. Nice thread!

I typically am finished working even on a busy day much earlier, compared to performing similar tasks in the office... I guess if you could work 100% from home the companies could save even more. The negative of course is that without social interaction, you might start hating your job...
