For a brief moment around 2023 the 4 day work week almost seemed like a real possibility but then something happened and the issue just died out.

I am creating this post as a way to collect information and research on the topic. Do you know of any research done on the subject? Do you have personal experience? Share them in the comments all engagement is welcome! Let’s bring that issue back to life!

    I have a four day workweek instituted by a major corporation in 2023.

    However it’s four 10 hour days, no reduction in hours worked.

    I love it anyway, that extra day off is nice to have.

      I work 4x9, the govt only hss 36hr contracts and doesn’t allow half days. Either 4x9 or 4x8+5x8 on a biweekly schedule.

      Hardly ever really hit those 9 hours in actual work, but I do feel like getting more work done in my four days than in five.
