4x10hr days vs. 5x8 hr days?

[SNEAKY]

Same here, 7 x 12s and college full time at night (online). I opt to go on vacation once a year though. 94 days until my next vacation.

did you get my email?

[1bad?]

yea i would rather 4x10 days in a heart beat as long as the days was not weekends

[YALE]

I would probably break down and weep if I got the opportunity to work 4x10's on a daylight schedule.

I would do it even if it were Thu Fri Sat off or Sun Mon Tue off.

I used to work 4x10hr days, monday-thursday, tuesday-friday alternating. Every other weekend was a four day weekend. I loved it.

But I was traveling every week so the four day weekends were the only time I was home, almost 8 days a month.

4x10 for sure

[MutherjuggZ]

Without even reading the thread I'll answer 4-10's all the way!!

[DieselSmoke]

I work 4x10's, Tues-Fri. Mondays are great for running errands.

I dream of having that chance. Like others I do 5 12+ and about 6 on most saturdays. Last vacation days I had were Nov. 14th &15th 2009. I need a vacation....... Bad....

haven't read the thread

4 10s is the best schedule IMO. i have worked 3 12's and a 6 for years, and it is cool to have 3 and a half days off but 12 hour shifts can suck sometimes. there was about a month where i wasn't on shift but worked 4 10s and i loved it. not as tired from when i worked 12s and still got 3 days off every week.

the only better shift IMO is working 4 12's one week and 3 12's the next week. that shift rotation gets you 4 days off every other weekend, not to mention you still get 3 days off on the other weekend

i must admit though that i would give it all up to work just during the week =/ working weekends(only one day but still) sucks when you consider all the events and fun stuff you miss

We are currently working 2-8's and 2-12's not to bad a schedule.

[Tx Redneck]

I currently work 4x10's and would hate to go back to a standard work week.

I used to work a compressed work week where we alternated 3x12s then 4x12s. The long days sucked. It felt like you did nothing but work and rest until you completed your work week, but the time off and extra $ rocked. Fortunately they paid OT for anything over 8 for compressed vs. over 40hr for standard shifts. Will your OT calculation change with the 4x10 schedule?

4x10 for sure

I worked 3 12's and got paid for 40 when I was younger. It was great. M-Thur off every week.

[Bassics]

I have never had a 40 hour work week.

No shit, 40 hours is up in three days max.
