Would you take fewer vacation days in favor of a 4 day week?

4 day work week

Hard choice but I’m up for four-day. It would lessen the effects of the monday syndrome maybe 🤔 Overall would be a better choice for me to both have my rest&work

I believe four-day work week is better both for employee wellbeing and overall productivity. (1) Long-lasting vacations are not going well for everyone (2) When key personel takes a long break, it affects the ongoing projects in many organizations. Four-day work schedule will reduce long-lasting vacations and make the employee more dedicated in the working hours.

Definitely 4 day work week! 😄 I like having longer vacations as a reset every now and then, but I think the general quality of life improvement of a 4 day work week would outweigh that by a lot. And if your company and team are flexible, you can probably still shift things around to have a longer break when needed 🏝

I will do that any-day! Frequent short term happiness >> one long term pleasure. Short term happiness do compound a period of time and gives you better health, mental state and efficiency in work!

Yes for sure. I really like the 4 day work week but sometimes its just not sustainable for early stage companies. I agree that everyone does not work to their fullest capacity with a 5 day work week but an employee not being available for another day of the week can make a big difference for startups.

Love this question Catherine. I've been lucky enough to work a 4 day work-week for quite some time now and truly believe it's the ideal arrangement. It helps prevent burnout throughout the year & results in less sick days being taken, and it just gives me a better overall sense of balance in my life. Maybe you could use some of your extra vacation days to work a 4 day week over summer at least?

Would absolutely take up a 4-day work week. The Daily Aus sum this up perfectly (https://www.thedailyaus.com.au/v...), but some notable takeaways are an increase in productivity, reduction in burn out and a better work-life balance!

Definitely would take 4 days work week as long as I can still get up to 2 weeks of vacation

Seems that regular recovery helps to prevent burnout better than 1-2 vacations a year. So my choice is 4-day work week :) But I am kind of workaholic and can't imagine this thing))
