Would you like to have a 4-day workweek? And how would you compensate the extra day off?

If you are working for startups that means you don`t have a chance for the 4-day workweek. There always have some bugs to solve immediately. But if you are working for a big company (for ex: an oil company) that could work for you. At the same time, a 4-day workweek is going to get less salary than a 5-day workweek. If you can get a chance to get extra freelance work, that could be the benefit of a 4-day workweek.

I would've loved to have a four-day workweek option. (Trading in vacation time.) I think it would've been super beneficial for having an extra day to relax and gain a better work-life balance.

I think a 4-day work week with longer working hours will be something that is fair for all parties. But can only be sure after testing on how the longer hours are working for me. Reading so much about the researches has increased my curiosity to try it out 😀

I'd love to try a 4-day workweek! And I think it wouldn't really make sense to "recover" that time with more hours throughout the week or vacation days since more time does not necessarily mean more done. I'd say companies and individuals would just need to readjust the way hours are distributed throughout the day, so as to increase efficiency without doing extra hours (to me, there is not a lot of difference in results in working 11 hours in contrast to 8, and I actually think it's detrimental!)

A day's worth of work on Friday is 8 hours, and we work for 4 days. So based on calculations, 8 ÷ 4 = 2 extra hours per day from Monday-Thursday, which would be quite manageable.

I believe in a 4 hour workweek!

Yes, I think that would improve productivity and give the worker a sense of freedom.

I could definitely use an extra day off! I don't mind working longer hours. With flexible working hours I end up working more during weekdays anyways (I really enjoy my tasks, but also sometimes it's hard to prioritize, so I try to do all at once). That would be great to have one more day to be able to take mind off things :)

Hate to say it, but there are parts of the world where people now, thanks to the internet and remote work, have the opportunities also available in the overfed, over-placated Western world. More work hours, not less, if we are to keep pace.

I would prefer to spread my work over five days in exchange for a shorter work day than a four-day job. I have a young child who goes to school and I need to pick her up on time. Maybe 4 fixed days plus one flexible day is a better option
