Tech CEO: 4-day work week didn't hurt or help productivity. I think personally it is a good idea. (www.theregister.com)

I did work at one place that did 4-10s and it was pretty good. Once you break the base-programming of "the weekend" it actually makes a lot of sense. Of course, new management showed up one day and fucked the entire thing up because money and kikes. They saw "duplicate" employees from Sun to Wed and then from Wed to Sun and felt mandatory overtime "on rotation" was a better idea. Welp it wasn't and most of us packed up and walked. I left without notice. New place wanted me to start ASAP and I said fine.

Looking back this was probably done on purpose to clear out people so they could bring in their own.

Everyone at Civo does their full week's hours during the four days.

I'm not a huge fan of 10 hour days. I actually like to work five 6s and then 2 to 3 hours on Saturday. Yeah, I know that's not 40 hours, don't tell the boss.

As an employer myself, I don't care about the number of hours worked so much as I do about the work getting done. If I only had employees who did 8 hours of work in 2 hours, and I had nothing else for them to do, I'd be happy to keep them at a full time wage and let them leave after 2 hours. They would be super loyal and never want to leave. Finding such people is damn near impossible, and most hires end up being the least worst option. So you make do with what you can get.

as I do about the work getting done.

The right attitude to have.

I'd do 4-10s again if I could. That would work for me but not everyone would like it.
