Four Day Work Week?
 

I'm thinking about going to four ten-hour work days per week. I currently work 7:30-4:00 Monday through Friday. I'm thinking my new schedule would be 7:30-5:30 four days per week. The "off day" would be different each week, depending on meeting schedules and my boss's schedule -- she and I cannot be out of the office at the same time.

I like the idea of an extra five gallons of gas per week by saving one day's commute.

I can't think of any cons to this...besides being at work for 10 hours at a time. What am I missing?

Nothing - that is my schedule, except when I have to support flight test over the weekend. Every other week, I have a 3 day weekend.

It sounds good, the only question is how it would effect you potential for advancement?

Is it just for the summer?

My job is doing something similar. We get to work from home 1 day per week. It will not make much of a difference for me because my commute is only 5 miles door to door.

That is a very common schedule in consulting.

No lunch break?

is traffic going to be any different?

Thats a good idea, In Boston, they do three 12 hour shifts in the hospitals, and count it as 40 hours. Good deal, eh?

Same here, 4 days of long hours=3 day weekend!!!

you're new schedule is my normal schedule 5 days a week and missing 2-3 hours a day. Consider yourself lucky.
