[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4/10 schedules were available to DC feds back in the late 1980s. [/quote]

But what Feds dont realize that non-exempt corporate drones pre-Covid the normal work day was 5/10s. Pretty much I got to work around 8 am and left sixish my whole career. Big companies hate clock watchers. So I could see the 4/10 get pushback.

I recall my one job I had 8 years tracked hours. I usually hit 40 hours by lunchtime on Thursday. And I was not a workaholic.

4/10 schedule in non-exempt world is fantasy as everyone is already working 5/10. And in Remote they log in at 7am on way to bus stop with kid and log off at 530 pm while prepping dinner is technically a 10 hour day. But on honor system.

It is great employees and great for honest hard working people. But lets be real.      [/quote]

I keep seeing posts about how big companies want people to work strict long hours, but that just isn’t accurate at all from the people I know who aren’t Feds. My DH and many of my friends/neighbors work at private companies with gobs of flexibility. They may work long on some days if there is a need but then they’re taking off early other days. I also know plenty of private sector workers who are allowed to go in person for like 4-5 hours to do meetings and such and then come home to telework the rest of the day. Actually my DH is doing that tomorrow. Going in around 8 for some in-person needs and should be home by 1.

Now my boomer dad did have to go in 5 days per week, long hours, and do work travel. But he didn’t have the benefit of all the tech we have now to allow people to be more productive without a butt in seat. If companies are requiring 8-6 every single day that sounds like a company that is going to have a hard time recruiting unless they pay a ton.[/quote]
