How many days a week do you have off from work? Do you think two days is enough?

Question

1 day a week is what I get off. I believe a 4-day work-week with more hours each day is preferrable to a 5 day week with only 2 days off. As humans get older, our minds and bodies need more time to recover. Also, there are so many opportunities that get missed due to a long work week at a job that give very little vacation. Just imagine how many of the world's problems could be solved easier if the average person had both the time and money to travel more of the world and broaden their horizons. There is so many wonders in this world that most people will never see due to slaving away at a job that could replace them in the next minute.

2 days a week is the average. There are laws here about that. If you work more then 5 days a week you will get 100% overtime for the extra day (s). The absolute max work week is 40hours legally, but the average max is 34hours weeks. Depending on the contract (34 or 40 hour week) you get 100% overtime pr hour over the max week hours. We also get the right to have days off with pay in Christmas, summer, Easter and a few Holly days. We also if documented from a doctor get full pay even if we are sick or hurt. We also get little over 40 weeks off with pay in the event we would have a new baby or something.

2, most times. Sometimes 1 if I have a shift at the 2nd job. I'd like a 4 day work week. I'm currently seeing if I can manage that with a flex work schedule.

7, I'm retired, but chose to work where and when I work.
You can have more days off, just work part time, but you may not be able to pay your bills.
There is always a catch.
My longest stretch was 63 straight days before I had a day off.
After a while you get used to it.

I only get two days per week off but it's always different days per week. Sometimes I get two back to back days off which is nice. And if we get a holiday pay day it doesn't count as one of our two days off for the week of that holiday because it's paid holiday

Drumlin2001 · Answer

3 days. I went to compressed hours when my son was born, so work 4 x 10 hour days, have weekends and Wednesdays off. Works OK for me. Ideally would love more time off but someone's got to pay the bills

Days off? 🤣 I work a 24/7 roster and there can be a call at any time. Even rostered days off do not survive urgent calls from clients, or one of my guards calling in sick.

penteractgaming · Answer

Spring, Fall and Winter are 2 days a week off, summer 3 days a week off plus federal holidays, personal days etc. adding up to about 6 weeks a year off.
2 days isn't enough, at least when those 2 days are mostly the same for everyone

Mickbert · Answer

2 is NOT enough! It’s especially not enough if they’re not back to back. If there’s a day or two between days off then you spend both days doing chores, cleaning, food shopping, etc. and you CAN’T rest!

Guardian48 · Answer

2 days, but I think I need more because of the cognitive load I have during the week. In order to refresh myself and stay mentally fit, I need more time away from my computer.

Fearlessegale · Answer

Well it depends on what days I work like I would take Tuesday off and work Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and sometimes Saturdays.
