Comment on 4-day work-week pilot due in tech land by early summer
misterdoctor@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI 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.

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
