I’m pulling for Monday. Friday’s already mostly a write-off.

      IMO I’d take the 3 day break every time. Being able to take the kids to their grandparents for a 3 day weekend, or stay another day on a weekend trip sounds too convenient to pass up.

    I have a 4-day work week (32h - fridays off). The 3-day weekend is a game changer.

    UK majority of the bank holidays are on a Monday, so Fridays would be nice as otherwise you’d lose them and what would become long weekends now.

    UK we are seeing a very slow shift to 4 day weeks for more privileged jobs, I work with two people who both have Fridays off as it’s an actual thing you can apply for at my employer.

    While the Tories stopped councils from offering 4 day weeks to employees, it’s got to be coming back, further spreading its availability.

    Those are the only two days you could have picked where it wouldn’t make a difference. Either way you have 4 consecutive days of work followed by 3 free days.

        I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea of having wednesday intermission instead of a 3 day weekend.

        But the proper thing to do would calculate which weekedays have the least amount of fixed holidays and then pick one of those.

      Tuesday would immediately become the new Monday and everyone would get the Monday scaries. The start of a series of work days will always be a bummer, no matter what you call it.

        We did four 10s at my last job, rotating every quarter whether you had off Monday or Friday. Personally I much preferred working the quieter Monday to the boring Friday. Tuesday became the new Monday as that’s when everyone was back in office. I didn’t feel the quiet Monday when you had half-ish the staff working was too bad, but the quiet Fridays really dragged. Quiet Monday was a nice ramp up to Tuesday, I got a lot of shit done on those Mondays.

        I’d say there is a difference to which day you choose off. It doesn’t seem like there would be a difference but I definitely felt it.

          Ok, I wasn’t considering a rotation where the workplace would be partially staffed Mondays and Fridays. That makes a lot of sense. I was imagining everyone having off Saturday-Mondthatn a more universal weekend, which I think would not be practical for getting things accomplished. In that case I see what you mean about Mondays.

    It should be mandatory to stagger it by lottery. That way there’s only ~20% of people off on the same day and you can enjoy your day more. I hate going out on weekends because of all of the extra people who are out. Being off on weekdays is great for the most part.

    If we all have the same schedule, Friday, if it varies, Monday. I can get stuff done and everyone is tired and grumpy so I don’t have to talk a bunch. People are too… Talkative on Fridays.

    I’d willingly want to move down to 4-day weeks in some year even with the reduced salary. I’m privileged enough to afford it, and the time regained is absolutely worth the loss in salary and future pension. I’d like alternating Mondays and Fridays, so every 2 weeks you get a 4-day weekend.
