4x10hr days vs. 5x8 hr days?

[dville_gt]

My current job has us doing 8 hour days + mandatory 1hr lunch (9 hr day), although the way it actually works out ends up being 7:30a-4p so really only 8.5hr days.

They have now decided to give us the option to do 4 10hr days + mandatory 1hr lunch (thus 11hr work day) and they have stated that we will be required to stay the full 6a-5p shift (full 11hr).

Would you take the 4x10's? If I decide to do so I wont have the option to return to "normal" schedule until mid-August.

It is really tempting since my commute is 35-45mins each way (25miles) so the gas savings would be nice, but I already go crazy sitting inside as long as I do, adding 1.5hr on the front and 1hr on the end (plus the additional traffic caused by leaving at 5p vs 4p).

I think I am going to try it but figured I'd see if anyone has any input. Thanks.

I like 4-10's, it leaves fridays open for whatever

I'd do 4x10's in a heartbeat.

I worked 4x10s when I was single and loved it but spent way more money having that 3rd day off.

4x10. I need more time to fish.

Uh 4x10 easily, you get a 3 day weekend every week!!!!!!

I loved working 4 10s when it was an option.

I don't have the option to, but I wish I did. I never have enough time on the weekends.

Ya, I'll give it a try, it would be nice to able to take advantage of places actually being open when I am off for a change.

I agree with everyone here.

I worked 4x10 for a little bit and enjoyed it a lot. To me this is how the normal work week should be. Whoever decided it was "normal" to work 5 out of 7 days of the week needs to be shot.

Fucking amen to that.

4x10s rock. 3x12s is even better.

The government should look to make it a standard. The economy would benefit with 3 day weekends for most people.

You wont miss the extra couple of hours each day nearly as much as you'll love having an extra day off! DO IT
