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?

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))

@jane_makarevich hahaha balance is everything

Interesting question, I think I would trade 1 or 2 weeks of vacation for a 4 days week. I would want to still have at least 4 weeks of vacation though.

@alex818 same here!

That's really hard to answer but what I figured out is that if I take more vacations I don't feel like going to work again, so I like to take 3,4 days' leave.

@software_guy hahaha that's so true! πŸ˜‚

I definitely would trade vacation days for a permanent 4 day work week. I would need less vacation to relax/recharge if work weeks were only 4 days long.

@eric_uaje yeah, 4 days work week sounds tempting;)

5 days of work. No more, No less. Take 2 days of good break. Repeat.

@saurabhwadhawan What about vacation?

A 4-day week can lead to happier and more committed employees. Compare Brokers is a team of qualified professionals that provide advice on how to manage money and assets efficiently.

Hmmm, 4 day week is something new. I would try it.

4 day work week anytime ! I recently moved from a full time job (6 days work, 12 hrs working) to 4 day work week (6 hrs working) with 20% pay cut. Earning back time & ploughing it into projects you love - is totally worth it !

I'm very team 4-day work week... when work is done, it's done! Some weeks may require 3, 4, or 5 days of work. And some may require 6 or 7... god forbid πŸ˜… "5 days, 9-5" is so arbitrary in my opinion! Work schedules should be flexible, and adaptable to each individual's business/industry.
