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

I love having 28 days of vacation in Germany--but I think I might trade a few of them to have a 4 day work week! What would you prefer?

Do I get WFH?

@gaurav_verma10 sure, why not!

@catherine_norris Then I'm in full support of 4 day week.

Longer vacations against 2 days off are what I will prefer!

@excellentweb_australia just curious--what's the standard amount of vacation days you get where you're from? I'm wondering if people's answers change depending on how much vacation they're offered!

If you have 25 days of holiday on a 5-day work week job, that equals 5 full weeks off. I would be OK if I moved to a 4-day work week with 20 days of holiday, as those would still equate to 5 full weeks off.
Catherine Norris
@alessandro_valentini yes, me too! that sounds perfect πŸ™Œ

I've been thinking more and more about the imbalance of a 5-day work week; it being established in early C20 is alone cause for reexamination given how different work is now some 100 years after the fact. Heck, the recent pandemic even revolutionised how and where we work. For poll, voted four-day work week. Not only is less holiday an option, but I'd work even more enthusiastically, I imagine, because I wouldn't need worry over conserving my energy or focus to last the week.

Four day week would be great I think.

I prefer 3-day trips anyway, so this is right up my alley

@connorvo Nice :)

I think my ideal setup is 4 days week can be scheduled for meetings. The rest of the 3 days can be used for recovery or catching up on work. If work is slow, take 3 days off, if it's crunch time, use those days to get ahead. -- My bias is I enjoy what I do and often find myself getting a head on a Sunday morning.

@jackgisel1 Everyone works differently! Flexible working options should become the norm
