Four Day Work Week...I Vote Yes!
July 9th 2008 13:16
I am loving all this talk about four day work weeks. The premise is that it will save gas. I saw a piece on the nightly news talking about how if all the companies in a town would do it, it would literally save tens of thousands of dollars a week. For who? I certainly am staying on the bandwagon for this concept and in fact, brought it up where I work and it is under consideration, but I doubt it will save me any money. I am likely to spend more money and time running around in my car going to casinos, shopping and such. I'm voting yes because my weekends just need to be longer!

I've known of comapnies that have four 10-hour days every week and seem to do pretty well. Factories and such could make it work. However, service businesses might not fare too well if they were closed 3 days a week. You're right about not saving much gas, of course. With more time to spend enjoying yourself, it would be easy to use even more gas doing things you want to do. But I hope you get the extra day off, just because! Good luck!
