[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend works for a small company in NYC and they do a 4 day 32 hour work week. The office just isn't open on Fridays and no one is expected to respond to anything that comes in that day. They're in person with some flexibility for hybrid when there is need (sick kid, etc.). From the way she talks about it, everyone is thrilled with the set up and they haven't seen any decrease in productivity. I think the employees know how sweet the gig is and they work efficiently to keep it. [/quote]

Wow that sounds amazing!

My concern about the 4 day week has always been what folks are expressing here

- can I/do I want to actually WORK for 10 hours per day? What about lunch? Or taking the dog out? What if I have an appointment? I'm on a board that meets once a month at 5:30 on a Wednesday - how does that fit in with the four day week?

- will I end up working the 5th day anyway?

So I guess it'd really depend on what those four days actually look like and if the 5th is truly off[/quote]
