4 10s was the norm on most of our distribution jobs for quite awhile. For me, it was great. A lot of crews didn't like the lack of overtime though.I've worked 4 10s several times, I like it much better.
But yes 5-day school week.
In my experience, it was mostly the workers who pushed for nonsense like 6-10s, 6-12s, crap like that.Definitely for. As the data shows, workers are more productive and happier with 4 day work weeks. but we live in land of the greedy and the corporate scum and shareholders won't have it, they want people working longer hours for less money
If it's only a 4 day worker week but a 5 day school week who teaches the kids on that 5th day?

A teacher? I mean - not everyone gets Friday off. You just said "4 day work week." Shuffle the days off, so not everyone is off on the same day.
I don't know, really. I got so excited of the idea of a day off with no kids in tow that I wasn't thinking clearly.
Obviously, some professions (like teachers) would still work 5 day weeks.
Maybe this should be an issue between employer and employee? I worked for a time at a company that works nine hours Monday through Thursdays every week and then eight hours one Friday and had the next off. It was very popular.Some relevant information:

4-Day School Weeks: New Research Examines the Benefits and Drawbacks
More than 1,600 districts have 4-day weeks. While students report more time for sleep and hobbies, academics lag, according to a new study.www.edweek.org

Benefits and Drawbacks of the Four-Day School Week
A four-day school week is becoming more common, especially in states with large rural areas. Champions of the shorter week contend that it saves money, improves student attendance, and helps recruit and retain teachers to rural districts. But what does the evidence say?www.rand.org
My wife worked in a 4 day school for a while, the 5th day ended up being optional and it was just a babysitting job.
For many jobs I think it could work. Much of what is done could be done quicker but the slog of the week reduces productivity. For others, maybe not so much. I don't think it could be mandated across the board.Some relevant information:

Yeah cause teachers have it so well we really need to knock them down a peg or 2
I allowed a trial of a four day work week for my department (large department in a large company) and it was a disaster! If everyone in the entire company and all your customers and partners aren't doing the same thing it doesn't work! Throw in different time zones!!!!!For many jobs I think it could work.

Not as bad as the deal for school bus drivers with a 4 day work week - they would simply get another day off with no pay.
Ten hour days onsite would eat any free time I had for most of the week. I hope that we aren't forced into these ****ed up schedules that seem to be popping up now that unions are toothless. I had one interview years ago in which most of the conversation consisted of telling me about this great schedule where you work ten hour days for one week and then ten hour nights the next. That sounded like a guaranteed divorce. **** all that.
