What company do you work for? That sounds great.

Agreed. Which is super tough being self-employed too :( One of the things I miss about a 9-5 where you can leave work at work (at least the 9-5s I used to have).

Yes. and More Yes. I honestly think we as a culture (American’s) work too much and it contributes to many of the high incidences of preventable illnesses that afflict our country. My boss brought 4 day work weeks one time as a threat along with the pay cut and the entire staff was for it, she has not utilized that tactic since.

I found this article from last weeks NY Times interesting though (http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/15/your-money/the-unspoken-stigma-of-workplace-flexibility.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0) , as there definitely is a flexibility stigma in several workplaces. It’s so bad at our office that not a single person took advantage of the early summer hours offered by my job 3 years ago.

But not every Friday though. Just when I think I need a much-deserved break and I think I will need the whole Friday and the weekend to re-energize. It’s amazing what a day can do without having to think about your work and just enjoy the day.

Yes, he is technically working 1 day less, but the other 4 week days are going to be especially stressful, so he WILL need the Friday off to recuperate. Combine that with a pay cut and the gig doesn’t begin to sound too good…

Unless he was doing something much more profitable on Friday, and the pay cut will be offset by new income.

It definitely is fun to think about. I love seeing how companies are becoming more flexible for their employees. It totally could be possible one day!

Either way, it’s fun to think about :) Never know when it’ll come up either by you or your employer!

I was just telling someone the same thing! Overworking can tend to lead to less productivity and creativity – all depending on what the job is. The times I’m officially off the clock are usually when the nuggets of wisdom strike here :)
