I actually find a 4x10 shift to be a great option but that’s the key, it’s an option where I work. Not mandatory and not for everyone. I really enjoyed the three day weekend. I think 4x10 as an option is a great choice if companies insist on 40 hour work weeks but moving to 4x8 (32 hour) weeks is a much better standard without a doubt.

If it’s not a 32hr workweek, I don’t wanna hear about it. There are some jobs in tech on indeed that are advertising 4x10s, fuck that shit.
This article specifically states 4x32. So that’s good. Should be in the title but I’m a pedant.
Everyone should, every job should be able to take advantage of this. Hire more people to compensate.
Billionaires don’t want this, so I’m super pessimistic. But if we keep talking about it and pushing for it, maybe someday…

I guess it depends on the kind of job but at least with focus heavy tasks like programming I can already notice my error rate increase significantly by hour 7 or so. I can’t imagine working 10 hours a day without spending half of the next day fixing stupid mistakes from being overly tired.

I find that I’m pretty much useless after 4 hours. I usually do a 4 hour stretch during the day and then hop back on for another 2 hours when the kids are down and that seems to be the most productive for me.

You get to actually work on your code?
Instead of 6 hours of meetings it’ll just be 8 hours of meeting
