    “…include working longer hours…” ?? Absolutely not. Who thinks this is a good idea.

      Yeah, that’s not any kind of improvement, that’s just moving your hours around. People can do that now. Shouldn’t need to. The 40 hour workweek is way out of date, 32 hours is barely catching up to where we should be by now.

        Absolutely. I also find 8 hours to be more than long enough. The days with overtime are actually fucking thievery as the rest of the day goes down the drain due to exaustion. I would prefer 5*6h to be honest, especially with remote work. It is very likely that i will do this in the future but right now i do not want to take the loss of money.

      I have worked 10 hour days, I was not 25% more productive than I was over an 8 hour day. There is only so much work I can get done during a day. After a while, I get mentally tired and it gets harder to concentrate.

      Often, walking away from a problem, getting a night of sleep, and coming back fresh gives me a different perspective and I come up with new solutions.

      I took this option. 10/4 is significantly better for me than 8/5, so when I saw the availability in the schedule for that, I took it. Granted, I have a job where working 10 hrs and working 8 hours is a negligible difference, but it’s a trade I’d personally make regardless.
