The Washington county reduced hours due to a tight budget, but most employees say the shortened week has also improved their work-life balance.

    I’m fortunate that my small company takes off Friday every other week - so I have a 40 hour week and then a 32 hour week.

    And, honestly, thanks to holidays on Mondays, and purposefully scheduled PTO days off, this week is the first full week I’ve had in a couple of a months.

    Some of that is humble bragging, sure, (I’m definitely lucky), but I do want to echo the sentiment that IT’S BETTER. Everyone knows it’s better. We don’t need massive studies. We just need to try and figure out how to get more people on the shorter work week because life really isn’t about TPS reports at the office.

      I was using pto to take fridays off at the start of the year when for me things are most stressful.
