When I decided to take the Maymont job over the job I held at VMFA, VMFA's offer to get me to stay, since they couldn't match the salary at Maymont, was to grant me a 4-day work week. Had I known then what I know now about Maymont's lack of ethics, I'd have stayed at VMFA.

Congrats! However, 4 10s can be tough.

Some people at my org are pushing for a 4 day work week. People keep coming back with the offer of 4 10s. That is NOT a 4 day work week, that's just a compressed 5 day work week.

This country is so resistant to improving our own lives, it's ridiculous.

Let's just jump right to the 2- 24 hour days. Sponsored by Monster Energy.

That's an addition of 8 hours! Sounds about right, though.

YES. this is so true! I have zero interest in working 4 long ass days, especially when my day never ends at 5 regardless of my "schedule" and night/weekend participation in events, etc is always required.

Yeah, I didn't want to yuck OPs yum if it's something that they have been wanting, but man am I in for rewriting some of the norms that we have put in place and not bothered to changed for forever.
