I'm pushing my boss for 4 tens right now, if I'm already there what's two more hours? But most of my job is waiting for something to break (maintenance). I want 3 day weekends so badly.

4 10s is the way to go 100%. A day to rest, a day to play, and a day to get shit done at home.

Only thing better is being self-employed lol. Some days I work 6-8hrs, some days it's like 3hrs and some office stuff, some days I barely do anything. Most days I've got something to do though.

I was a construction electrician tho, every time we got 4 10s some asshole would find a reason to have us there Friday anyway. I mean, sure, overtime. But I'm tired bro.

Electrician here as well, running a shop comes with its own set of shenanigans that I sometimes daydream about just working for someone. But then I remember the flexibility I have that wouldn't be a thing otherwise.

Oh for sure. I don't envy having any more responsibility than I do as a one-man-show lol. Regardless, it's really wonderful being in charge of your own work.

It's worthwhile in my eyes. Most people to whom I mention it say "I couldn't work a ten hour day," which is a valid perspective, but also I'd rather lose two hours a day over one day a week.

I would prefer 4x8 though.
