Most office jobs do less than 30 hours of actual work per week. This is way overdue.
Shit, I'd take four 10-hour workdays and a day off over five 8-hour workdays. It's not about the hours per week, but about being able to enjoy a full day to myself.
I wouldn't. That's four days of hell for 3 days of catching up on everything. That's you essentially having 4 days of doing nothing but work, getting to work, and managing family, with no time to do really anything else. All of your chores, all of your preparation, everything have to be done during those 3 days. That would be brutal.
You'd be surprised how many people waste 2 hours simply decompressing from their 8 hour day as is.
Any office worker who tells you they do 40 hours of work a week is lying. There's so much time wasting, gossip, water cooler talk, or just staring at the wall. People are burned out after 30 hours. Everyone feels more rejuvenated after a three day weekend, 2 days just isn't enough to come back feeling refreshed, so Monday is usually a wash anyway as we get back in the zone
You’ve been in the office mines.
