you no longer have that kind of energy because you have a 5 day work week.

Wait, so if I only worked four days a week I'd have the energy to work five days a week?

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I work a four day workweek, but I also work 25% longer every workday than most people do.

I'm grateful for my extra day off, but I'm also tired every workday. And a lot of non workdays.

I'm pushing my boss for 4 tens right now, if I'm already there what's two more hours? But most of my job is waiting for something to break (maintenance). I want 3 day weekends so badly.

4 10s is the way to go 100%. A day to rest, a day to play, and a day to get shit done at home.

Only thing better is being self-employed lol. Some days I work 6-8hrs, some days it's like 3hrs and some office stuff, some days I barely do anything. Most days I've got something to do though.

I was a construction electrician tho, every time we got 4 10s some asshole would find a reason to have us there Friday anyway. I mean, sure, overtime. But I'm tired bro.

Electrician here as well, running a shop comes with its own set of shenanigans that I sometimes daydream about just working for someone. But then I remember the flexibility I have that wouldn't be a thing otherwise.

[–] A_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Oh for sure. I don't envy having any more responsibility than I do as a one-man-show lol. Regardless, it's really wonderful being in charge of your own work.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

It's worthwhile in my eyes. Most people to whom I mention it say "I couldn't work a ten hour day," which is a valid perspective, but also I'd rather lose two hours a day over one day a week.

I would prefer 4x8 though.

My guy and I do 4 10s when we have the workload, and yeah, same deal. 3 day weekends are rad, but like hell if I have energy for anything after work on those other 4 days.

Some days I miss being a one-man show and being able to work just enough jobs to keep my bills paid and food on the table, but I wouldn't be able to take on the more fun jobs by myself.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I've never been a one man show, but I definitely miss the days of freedom and relative lack of consequence. While most of my jobs over the last decade or so have been fairly engaging, I think my current job is the first one that really pushes me on a regular basis.

I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn, but also it can be hard to relax.

No.

(i want four day workweek)

Increase production with this one weird trick. Proletariats hate it.
