Per week, would you rather work 4 shifts for 8 hours each or 5 shifts for 6hrs 24mins?

Both are 32 hour weeks. So which is better, the shorter work day or less work days?

32 hour weeks sounds like total luxury. I would be happy with either one.

4 shift, so i’ll get 3 days free.

If I was only working 32 hours a week I would want to work 2 16s

That reminds me of my EMT buddy years ago that worked one 72 hour shift every other week. He got so bored on the 11 days off, he would pick up shifts at the local hospital. Five days off wouldn't be so bad though.

I’d rather stick with what I do now - week on/ week off

[Asker]

Average 20 hours per week? Or do you work compacted schedules?

[Redstang88]

40-50

[AI Opinion]

Choosing between 4 shifts of 8 hours or 5 shifts of 6 hours and 24 minutes depends on your personal preferences and lifestyle. With 4 shifts, you have fewer working days, giving you more free days for rest, personal projects, or family time. On the other hand, 5 shifts offer shorter workdays, which can lead to less daily fatigue. Consider your work-life balance, commute time, and energy levels to decide which option would support your overall well-being and productivity better.
