Would you rather work longer hours for less days or shorter hours for more days?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Me: Loving my new schedule, 10 hour days that fly by because so busy hardly notice the time, but three day weekends

Longer hours/less days

Shorter hours/more days

[CrazyGirl2]

I would rather work longer hours for less days! That way you have more time off! (Or at the very least you can trick your mind into believing you have more time off!) Most people know that my mom is a doctor, and through her, I learned that hospitals (at least used to) offer nurses a schedule called “ The Baylor plan“ where they worked 12 hours Friday night 12 hours Saturday night, and 12 hours Sunday night from 7 PM to 7 AM, but they get paid for working 40 hours instead of 36, plus they get all the full-time benefits. I would MUCH rather work 12 hours a day for three days and then get four days off, then work eight hours a day for five days and get two days off. A lot of the nurses with families would work Baylor shift because it allowed them to be at home ALL week with their kids, and only needed dad, or a babysitter to watch them Friday Saturday and Sunday night. For the kids to because as far as they’re concerned mom is always home!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I thought about doing the three 12 hours, but went the four 10 route, could switch down the road if wanted to

[CrazyGirl2]

Yeah! I can see not wanting to work a whole 12hrs a day! I don’t blame you a bit! 😘

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh I will be once mandatory overtime kicks in

[CrazyGirl2]

I’m SO happy that all my working life I’ve been a minor, so they literally couldn’t ask me to work overtime! You have my sympathies (unless you want the OT, in which case… YAY Overtime! 🤗)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'm 50/50 on that, could use the money but I'll have to get up super super early, which I'm up early but I'd have to START at 4am, which means getting up at 2am, leaving the house by 3,3:10

[CrazyGirl2]

YIKES 😳 I’m so sorry you even have that as a possibility looming over you, like some kind of Effed-up sword of Damocles

[Cynicaldreamer]

I've been saying for years I'd happily work 4 days, 10 hour shifts. Imagine a three day weekend! Two day weekends go by WAY too fast! You blink and it's Monday again.

My new position might allow this option down the road (I've already discussed this with my boss), but I'm still fairly new so I don't want to be too demanding yet. Long days don't bother me; not like I have much of a life outside of work anyway. That way I could have a Friday or Monday off.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh I hope you can.. It's so much better!! I'm loving that part.. I no longer hate Mondays..🤣

[Cynicaldreamer]

Oh I'm so jealous!!! Girl I'm over here now trying to prep for work because I didn't do anything this weekend :|
Which is good and bad- I needed the rest, but two days to wash clothes and do stuff you can't do during the week is a struggle

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I know, been there done that... And don't worry, I'm sure I'll come to hate Tuesdays instead🤣

[MCheetah]

I know the popular answer is A, and I can see why, but I current teach at an academy where I am paid for eight hours and here for eight hours, but only teach (the actual work, here) for 3-4 hours a day. The rest of the time I'm just sitting here online, waiting for the class to start, or doing very basic prep work. So everyday feels like it's part-time work.

I'm literally at work right now, but my first class doesn't begin until 4pm. Yes, working longer hours for a three or four day weekend is nice, but it also means the actual work days probably suck. With my situation, it barely feels like work at all, and I love it and I'm very grateful for this position (just two months ago, I was at another job working full schedules and it kinda sucked at times).

So yes, I'd rather have every work day feel easy than getting an extra day off. Option B for me.

[Lliam]

Definitely 'A'.

At some point, the company I formerly worked for added one hour to each work day. So the hours were 8:00-5:00 Mon-Thurs and 8:00-12:00 on Friday with one hour lunch and two 15 min breaks on Mon-Thurs.

I sure as hell didn't notice the extra hour a day. I would have gladly worked 10 hours a day 4 days a week.

I think, because it was an auto insurance company, they did felt that they had to be available to customers on weekdays, so they couldn't close entirely on Fridays.

It was great because there are things you can do on a weekday that you can't do on weekends because some businesses and government offices aren't open on weekends.

On the federal holidays that fall on Mondays, I would use five hours of vacation time to take Friday off and get a four day weekend.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah, I could of did 3 12 hour days and if it would of been weekdays I might of, but it was Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, so did the 4 10's instead

[zeitgeist057]

My preferred schedule is four or five 16 hour days, totaling 64-70 hours in the week.
I would also be okay with working three days as long as it was at least 12 hours each day.

40 hours of base pay
15 hours of time and a half = 22.5 hours of regular time
15 hours of double pay = 30 hours of regular time

70 hours = 92.5 hours of pay, and I still get two full days off!

I hate 8 hour days, they feel like a waste of my day. Three 16 hour days would be great, that's four days off, with 48 hours of work, equal to 56 hours of base pay. But unfortunately my work doesn't count overtime as part of my required 40 hours/week to get benefits.

[EnglishArtsteacher]

I've done both, and without I doubt, I would rather work longer hours, and less days. Absolutely no question about it. The different between a 7/8-hour day to a 9/10 hour day isn't too much, and the reward of having at least one (maybe even two) extra days off pays off in the end.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Agree... I'm loving the new schedule.. Plus burns less gas that way

[EnglishArtsteacher]

Absolutely!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Only thing is keep getting thrown off what day it is🤣

[ArrowheadSW]

I did the longer hours for fewer days back in my mid-twenties. Back then I didn't need as much sleep and I was real energetic. I could still do things after hours on my working days. But later on I settled for a 5 day week because it was too hard to get in exercise, and all the other stuff, on working days.

[DizzyDesii]

Dang I don't know. Right now i work like 5-6 days a week, 10-12 hour shifts. Ideally i’d work 4 days, 40 hours a week

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah it's nice, and soon I'll be at them 5 days 12 hours once mandatory overtime kicks in, but at least still have 2 days off that way

[DizzyDesii]

At least you get days off. They could make us work 12 hours daily due to mandatory OT for 5 days then a regular shift the 6th day. To them, they never owe us a day off other than like once a week

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah that sucks.. Only bad thing so far about the 4 day work week is I keep forgetting what day it is🤦🤣
Last Friday I thought it was Thursday, today don't feel like Monday cuz normally I'd be at work on a Monday...

[DizzyDesii]

Lol i love that feeling. It makes the week go by faster

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Lolol not me makes me feel like duh what day is it, duh who turned out the lights🤣🤣

[douride2]

I would sooner work 10 - 12 hrs a day 4 days a week. As it is now I'm working 12 - 14 hr days 6 days a week. This past week I even put hrs in on Sunday.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah that sucks.. Although once mandatory overtime starts, I'll be doing 5 12 hour days, but I'll still have two days off

[douride2]

I don't get over time till 55 hrs a week.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That really sucks

[douride2]

At least I got double time for Sundays hrs.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's good at least

[douride2]

Even still I would rather have not worked Sunday.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I don't blame you, why didn't do the 3 12 hour days, cuz it would of been Saturday, Sunday, and Monday shift

[douride2]

Yes that would really suck.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's what I thought.. I'm good with the Tuesday through Friday 6-4 shift

[douride2]

I would love them hrs.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I definitely am

[Anonymous]

At my old job I worked 10 hour shifts, but only 4 days a week. I kind of liked having 3 days off, but it was also exhausting, and I felt like my routine was only work and sleep, especially when they gave me a 9 to 7. But when I worked the midday or afternoon shift, it wasn't bad, because I still had the first half of the day to myself.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I just switched to 10 hour 4 day work week and so far I'm liking it better, work 6a-4p

[Opinion Owner]

I worked that shift too, but it still wasn't as great as evening, because I was exhausted by the time I got home.

What job do you work? Do you at least get a lunch break? I didn't get a lunch break.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

We get two paid twenty minute breaks

[t-8900]

If I could just work four 10 hour days and by with my lady for the other 3 that would be ideal. Let's make laws for this damn it!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

There are jobs that offer that.. Could of did 3-12 hours and four days off, but did the four 10

[t-8900]

I could work 3 days a week for 12 hours. Tell me where! Lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

a lot of factory or warehouse jobs offer those shifts...

[t-8900]

Ah okay. I hear the turn over rated for those jobs are quite high nowadays due to so much automation. Kinda sucks, not like back in the old days where you had a bit of job security

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Even automation needs a human to run it or oversee it or repair when it breaks down

[t-8900]

Yeah I agree but unless you know robotics or something it might not be something I could apply for. Math was never my thing

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Have fork lift experience? Hell even if you don't, most places will train you...

[t-8900]

I have used everything but w forklift bit what's the actual pay for that and isn't it technically dangerous work?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Can be.. depends on the company and wages they pay..

[t-8900]

Well it's one more thing to look into at least. I hear unions don't protect their workers anymore though

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

You mean there's few unions left these days

[t-8900]

That too

[bolverk]

Longer hours less days, my last job was a rotating cycle 10, 12, 12 + 12, 12, 10 hours over weekends gave me lots of down time during the rest of the week.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Four ten hour shifts would be cool & I would only go for the deal if all the days off were together & none of this split days off shit.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Mine are.. I'm Tuesday through Friday and off Sat., Sun., and Mon.

[humanearth]

Sounds like



They were one of the 1st in wisconsin to have hrs like that. I worked there when I was 18 and stupid

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@humanearth no I don't work there and yeah they do that there, but they also switch the hour shifts, so you're second shift do months, then first for months... My shift is my permanent schedule unless I change it.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As for me I work Monday through Friday & I usually go in early & sometimes stay an hour or two for overtime.

[humanearth]

I got fired for having a beer in my lunch box. I told whats the differnce. If the machines are down, or goes out to lunch everyone goes to the bar. I told them I was just saving money on gas and saving time.

They didn't buy it

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@humanearth lololol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

@Static_In_The_Attic yeah last job was Monday through Friday.. like this much better

[TonyMetal___86]

Longer hours, less days ofc 😁
Because whem you go to work, it's work, you woke and did everything so i don't care for how much hours it's going to be as long as i can get a long weekend to be a couch potato 🤣🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

How'd you know that's what I'm being today😂😂 but yeah plus it seems like them ten hours flew by Friday whereas them 8 hours at least job felt like forever for shift end to come.. Maybe cuz hated that place but like the new job better... But even if lazy today, still have tomorrow to get stuff done

[TonyMetal___86]

That's because the spongy forehead needs to relax and have delicious meals and enjoying the time at home and for sure being naughty ☻

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'm alone, how naughty can I be🤷😂

[TonyMetal___86]

You forgot that your the creator of the naughty board games, you always have something naughty to do spongy forehead 😁

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'm laying down either reading a book or on here.. Yeah sooo naughty🙄

[TonyMetal___86]

Reading a book eyyyy SPONGE, a book of what? KAMASUTRA? 🤣🤣
Miss brains muffins of your reading a normal book, than can you read me a bedtime story everynight before i sleep? I'll bite the spongy forehead than listen to the story and fall in sleep like a baby 😂😂

[TonyMetal___86]

I love the story of the 3 pigs and the wolf 👶🏻

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

A cheesy romance book🤦 but read everything else here too many times, need a new good book to read

[TonyMetal___86]

3 pigs and the wolf, that's your new book, i want to know if the wolf found a way to blow the pig's house made from concrete 😁

What happened to the 3 pigs? 🐖🐷🐽

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

They became bacon on someone's plate😂

[TonyMetal___86]

HAR HAR HAR, and a blondie lady is the one who served them on the table and ate half of them 😈

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😂😂 actually haven't had bacon in awhile... I got country fried steak and eggs for brunch yesterday

[TonyMetal___86]

Country fried steak? 🤔 is there a city fried steak? 😂
Did they play the banjo for you miss brains while eating the COUNTRY steak 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yep and we drank moonshine🤣
Not really, I had a mimosa

[TonyMetal___86]

Don't know what the moonshine is but it sounds alcoholic for sure and that's why the sponge was happy because no one noticed that she's chug a lugging liters of alcohol 😁

Bow about the mimosa, don't know what that is too but here we have napkins under the brand name of mimosa 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 definitely wasn't a napkin.. A mimosa is Champaign and orange juice🍹

[TonyMetal___86]

I knew it, that's why the sponge was very happy because they were getting her luxurious drinks 🍾🤪🍹

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🙄I only had one lolol well at the restaurant, did have cranberry and vodka drink I drank when got to casino yesterday... God, I'm sooo bored today.. should be cleaning the house, but eh. Bored but lazy lol
Guess I'll make a liquor run, nothing else fun going on today

[TonyMetal___86]

How about i bite your spongy forehead in a wild way so you have fun naughty sasquatch sore feet 😈😬

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

What you want to massage my feet aww that's so sweet🤣 they been feeling better, the new shoes helping a little, I'll still take a foot rub though lolol👣

[TonyMetal___86]

No way 🤯 i'm running away, the sasquatch is playing games to get me...👹

No massage for you feets naughty sponge, your very naughty, who knows what happens next 😟

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣 I fall asleep😴🤤

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah gonna go make that liquor run🍹🏃🏼‍♀️

[TonyMetal___86]

Falling in sleep means me drowning in your drool and i don't even know how to swim 🏊‍♂️

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Nah more like a light summer rain🤣
Sitting on porch having a drink, listening to old school R&B, rebooting the nice weather while it lasts

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*enjoying not rebooting lolol wth where'd that come from lololol

[TonyMetal___86]

It came from the chug a lug naughty sponge 🤪, unless you live in a matix world, miss brains can reboot the weather so it suits her 🤣

Maybe i'll see miss brains muffins in the new movie "matrix: resurrection" 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Wouldn't I have to be dead to resurrect 🤔 trying to kill me off🤔🤣

[TonyMetal___86]

Don't know about that, you have to ask NEO 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I never watched the matrix

[TonyMetal___86]

Do you know that keanu reeves was born in my country in the city that i live in 😁
That's the info of today miss brains muffins 😌

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Really? That's cool 😎

[TonyMetal___86]

✌🏻🤓

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

It feels so good outside... Think my tolerance back lolol drinking vodka mixed with wine cooler and don't feel that buzzed, actually got to some of the cleaning, not much but some lolol and still got tomorrow, so🤷 don't feel so bored anymore feel more content/peaceful

[TonyMetal___86]

That's nice miss brains muffins, your feeling peacefull now and comfortable, it's because i sent you a digital bite to the spongy forehead 😬

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Well that feeling turned into shock and disbelief.. My older neighbor told me she got married to a guy that I've seen around here house for the 18 years I lived here and always asked if that was her man and always heavy denial, the "we're just friends"lol
But she showed me the rings and the pics, and yup they married, he'll be moving into her house soon as they sell his, and then by next year she wants to sell hers and they'll move Tennessee... I thought for a minute that my drink was hella strong lolol

[TonyMetal___86]

Is that for real? Or you were just having a dream spongy forehead 🤣
Well that's what happens between friends especially if they are both single and from the opposite gender, they might end up married 😂

Anyways you have to be happy for her, also if he didn't love her than he wouldn't have waited for 18 years to marry her 😁

See it was better to receive my bite on your spongy forehead instead of these shocking news 😅

It ain't a weird story, such things happens a lot...

[TonyMetal___86]

I have a question, i can understand if she sells her house to move into his house or him selling his house to move into her's, but why they both want to sell their houses to live in another region, tenessee is a state i guess right? It means they are moving to another state, why would someone makes a move like that?

My whole country is smaller than the state pf california or the state of texas, yet i find it extremely hard to move away to live in another region 🤣🤣

Moving from state to state means to me like moving from a country to another...

Maybe they find it better to live there and having more chances related to work and other stuff... who knows...

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

He's selling his, because this area better than where his house is..
They're eventually selling hers because she wants out of this state and she has family in Tennessee... We're talking about an older couple here, my neighbor is in her 60's and don't know his age,60's to 70's I'd say

[TonyMetal___86]

Wow, 60's and 70's are going to get married 🤣, you be sure to give them some of your marriage advices naughty sponge and don't let the old man swallow the whole bottle of viagra 😂

Anyways tbh i'm happy for them because loneliness is a silent painfull killer, better to live with someone who will be by your side forever and having a family, at least someone to talk to and share everything with them... i wish them luck and a long happy marital life 😌

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Old people need love too🤣

[TonyMetal___86]

Sure spongy forehead, you should give them a naughty board game of yours as a marriage gift so they spice up their sexual life 😁

Don't tell them about the Christmas light wire 👀

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 good idea I'll buy her a set of Christmas lights for a wedding gift🤣

[TonyMetal___86]

Poor old man 👴🏻

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Shit he'd probably have the time off his life😂😂 she told me how they met over twenty years ago.. She was in divorce court and he was the security that wanded people before they entered, She asked if she went out for water would she have to be re-wanded and he said he'd love to wand her again🤣🤣 yeah don't sound like innocent poor old man to me LOL

[TonyMetal___86]

mmm, naughty security guy taking advantage of ladies...
In the end he wand her back home 😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 hopefully for her his "wand" still works 20 years later🤣

[TonyMetal___86]

Don't worry miss brains muffins, he will buy some motor oil and grease for hinges and use them to make it work and give it a high voltage charge and that's it...
It will work for couple of hours before it gets totally damaged, i suggest that he uses this combination of repairs in the honeymoon so he shows his wife that he's still a gigolo, drilling better than a 20 year old kid 🤣🤣

After that, they will move him to the cemetary like a hero 😂😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣 omg put the tainted muffin down and slowly back away sir LOL

[TonyMetal___86]

Not before i bite the naughty sponge 😬😬

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'm not naughty😤 well not always😇😈😇 did laundry/cleaning in kitchen, and yeah now having a drink, but hey last day off till Friday, so I'm enjoying it too the fullest

[TonyMetal___86]

That's good miss brains muffins, keep the house tidy and shiny 😁 and now you can relax and have a small amount of chug a lug pal 🤣

Have fun spongy forehead, you deserve it 😊

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Who says tiny? Lolol having vodka/wine cooler mix, wonder who's gonna tell me they married next🤣 as long as it ain't one of my girls, I'm good lolol

[TonyMetal___86]

Hahaha 🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Glad you find that funny🙄

[Purplemonkey242]

Id rather work long hours but home at a decent hour. I wanna work a 7-3:30 or 7:30-4. If I had to work 10-12 hour days for more time off I'd do that too

[ewok737]

I worked a 4 day work week for years, very much liked it.
Now back to 5 day week, oh well it was good while it lasted.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Aww that must suck to have to go back to 5 after years of working 4

[ewok737]

Yes, it was like a small vacation every week.

[Avicenna]

I'd pack 40 hours into a 3 day work week if I could

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I could of did the 3 day 12 hours but did the 4 10's

[MuddyMole]

As long as it's not *too* brain-numbing, then longer hours for fewer days.
Personally though, I work eight hours a day, six days a week - but I only work for half the year, and spend the rest of the year travelling etc.

[karaspara]

Good question after some soul searching longer days with more days off

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah it's so much nicer

[karaspara]

Gotta be better to have full days off in my opinion

[JClone55]

I work four tens now. Three days off. I like it because 10 doesn't really seem longer than 8. Work to live, not live to work.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Same here and agree, the ten seem to go faster then when was working 8

[Massageman]

A- longer hours /less days. A neighbor works a 3 x 13 as a county cop. A fiend of ours works a 4 x 10 as a printer.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍 yeah I'm doing the 4 10's and loving it

[Massageman]

I could pull 4x10 (not in massage, though), but I doubt a 3 x 13.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah, I had the option to do 3 12's.. Maybe years ago, don't think not

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*now

[AndrewMG]

I value my time far more than I value money, so hey give me loads of days off.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right! But actually I'm making more money, less time

[AndrewMG]

Still working from home I've earned more money these last few months than I ever had... and pretty much not had any time off to spend it on! That's a paradox lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Isn't it always lol

[Wiredone]

If I had a choice I'd work longer hours for less work days.
I just work longer hours and more days for the same pay.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That sucks.. Imma be working more hours/ more days prob soon but I'll get overtime pay and still have two days off

[Wiredone]

I'm the boss so I'm always working.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Ah okay.. Yeah that's usually the case when you're the boss

[DJB72]

I'm planning my business around my life. I refuse to work long hours doing something that makes me miserable so I can spend two weeks a year with my family.

My family comes first.

[Redstang88]

4 10s is the best, I can’t figure out why it’s so uncommon

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right! I'm loving it

[FinalFantasyBro]

How many days would I receive if I pick longer hours.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Depends on the company lol but my job you can work four 10 hour days, have three days off or work three 12 hr days and have 4 days off, so I work 10 hours, Tuesday through Friday and off Saturday, Sunday and Monday

[FinalFantasyBro]

Sounds really reasonable, also what is your job by the way?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I work in a distribution center

[FinalFantasyBro]

Distribution is that like carrying freight?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

It's basically a warehouse with product/merchandise to be redistributed to retailers or wholesalers

[FinalFantasyBro]

Oh that's cool, so kinda like Home Depot in a sense?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

No, like the place home Depot would get there supplies from

[FinalFantasyBro]

Oh that's sounds really cool, do you like the job?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

So far so good

[FinalFantasyBro]

That is definitely good that the company is good because not all companies treat their employees good.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

So very true

[JohnE_62]

I am a writer, i work at my own pace. I tried to have a 9 to 5 job, but working for bosses and dealing with co-workers, or customers isn't my speed.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh I definitely hear yah.. I've been told I should be a Writer.. But I'm that person guilty of letting their fear of failure hold them back.. Am loving the 4 day work week though.. Don't think could go back to 5 day work week, not permanently anyways, will be working 5 days once mandatory overtime kicks in, which is right around the corner

[JohnE_62]

I have managed to write some movie screenplays since I started writing in my last year of high school, but as of yet, I haven't sent anything to a movie studio, actually, I need a literary agent first to better represent my work. Without meaning to sound to assure of myself as a writer that my stories are so great they will sell themselves. Nevertheless, I have worked hard on them, making them funny, scary, romantic, and adventurous as much as any writer can do. So with that, I stay confident I will be successful when I do. Another reason would be is that I want to write some more stories and sell them at the same time, so as to make more money, I may suffer the curse of never wanting to write again if they don't do well.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Good luck

[JohnE_62]

Thank You, Brainsforbeauty, i'll send you an autographed copy of my novel, or give you tickets when the movie comes out.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Cool 😎 thanks

[Snakeyes7]

Assuming I'd still get the same amount of hours I'd definitely do it. I'd do it even if it's all five days a week.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I get 40 hours in 4 days and 3 day weekend, can get 20 hours overtime working 5 and still have two days off

[coffeismytea]

I'm rather work with deadlines and productivity wage focus. You accomplish things, you earn from accomplishments, no hourly wager nor "working" sitting in a desk staring the void for no logical reason.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Well I don't sit at a desk so🤷 and I'm very productive at my job...

[coffeismytea]

:)
What I'm talking about here is that I prefer to earn for the quality of my work, not by spending time on it. Often I can do things faster than my peers, and I end up staring at walls for no reason because the contract demands it. It's counter-productive and pointless.. To me the wage system we use today in society is very flawed, and only really gives advantage to the rich...

For instance, a Graphic Designer earns less by getting hired than they can earn by simply sticking to freelance contracts, under employment their work becomes undervalued and underpaid, if they were to charge for each piece they make for their employer, they could earn up to 5 times what they do under employment. So in my eyes it's better to earn for productivity, which also benefits the company overall.

So if I have a deadline for X, do it in 10 minutes, but that deadline was for a week, I simply earn myself the rest of the week as a holiday, free time. I prefer that because it attaches more value to the work done, productivity increases, and improves the quality of life.
Japan for instance has 8 hours work journeys, but they are almost always forced into unpaid extra hours, racking up to 12 hours daily work. Japan is the worst country in the world regarding productivity, make what you will with that information.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That way, I agree. I worked for a government agency for years and actually made less by being more productive than others that till twice as long to do the job as it took me. So I had higher productivity rates than they did, but smaller paycheck.. Those "you're in the top 5 for your region" emails/accolades don't pay the bills

[humanearth]

I love my wacky hrs, no two days are the same. Some days its a 16 or 24 day and some times its 6 hrs. Days off none unless I have a replacement to take my place

[the_sinner]

I would work longer hours for less days.
I want the distinction between work and play to be clear.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I thought about doing the 12 hours for three days but thought it might be too much, but gonna be working 12 hours once mandatory overtime kicks in

[the_sinner]

Well in my place it’s 9 hours for 5 days but I’ll still be okay if it changes to 12 hours for four days.

[Joshua0213]

Well currently I work about 90 hours a week so both I guess?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yikes, Yeah that's a lot

[EnglishEuropean]

Deffo shorter hours. I'm not really awake before 10:00.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍I am usually up early so rather work early, get home earlier and work less days... Barely slept 3 hours but up, ready, leave it at 5... Took coffee to achieve though lolol

[krin_m]

I actually do work long hours and only four days a week.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍 me too

[noohair]

I worked four 10 hour days and I found the extra 2 hours rough. I was on my feet.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

So am I, but then I have 3 days to rest my feet

[noohair]

If it works for you. They were trying a scheduling experiment and it did not last.

[gag2021]

It depends on when breaks are allowed on longer days.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

We get two 20 minute paid breaks

[gag2021]

That helps!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right!

[TheAfrikan]

Longer hours but less days. Though for me it is longer hours n 6days a week.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍 and yeah I'll be working longer hours soon, but it'll be 5 12 hour days, so still have two off

[TheAfrikan]

now i do pray rhat you can do well and handle them alright with no challenge

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I'm a tough cookie🍪

[james_d0007]

4 days longer hours and 3 day long weekend sounds good to me!

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I'm loving it

[ChiPaPa]

Longer hours, less days. I'd take two fifteen hour days and one ten hour day just to only work three days a week.

[LisaRaven]

Longer days , more days off, sounds better.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍I like it better that's for sure

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Far fewer hours. I wasn't born to spend my life working for several hours a day. Screw that.

[Lynx122]

Less hours. I can't work that long.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍 for me those 10 hours flew by faster than when I was working 8

[Lynx122]

You're lucky. I can't even imagine working ten hours and being fine.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

It really went fast, I was so busy didn't even feel the difference, plus most 8 hour jobs don't pay you for lunch hour, so if you 6-2:30 you really there 8 1/2 hours, but only paid for 8, so I'm really only there an extra 1 1/2 hours but paid for the full ten hours, breaks included

[Lynx122]

Good for you :)

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Longer hours/less days

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍 it definitely nicer

[Cherry234]

Longer hours for less days

[Still-alive]

me too

[qwert1234]

Longer hours and less days.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah I'm loving it

[qwert1234]

I had this schedule on my 1st work. I don't like the work but this schedule made me stay for a while.

[K-I-S-S]

Longer hours for more days, less years.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That would work too lol

[Guido]

Longer hours and fewer days

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍I definitely like it better

[alance99]

I would prefer four day week

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍

[LaMiSch]

I have 7 days / 9 h a day. Its fine

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

So you don't get any days off?
We're going to be coming up on mandatory overtime, but I'll still get days off

[LaMiSch]

Yes, after my 7 days I have two days off 😁

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Oh okay

[LaMiSch]

Yep, less time for "relax" 🙈🤪

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sounds like it

[LaMiSch]

That's why I'm here, at least a little erotic when I'm free 😂

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

😂😂

[LaMiSch]

I Think you know what i mean🙈😅

[jimmy2]

Actually now i have 7 days off

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Retired?

[jimmy2]

Yes after all them days months and years

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Congrats!! Enjoy your retirement💛

[invalid1]

shorter hours, more days

[collie22]

3 or 4 days a week and short hours preferably

[teslas16]

I would work for long hours for less days

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍👍 it's definitely better in my opinion

[teslas16]

Hmmm... K

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

What lol I was agreeing with you

[roy_ricky09]

In France it's already there. Long hours
