Would you rather a 4 day work week of 10 hr per day or 5 day work week 8 hr a day?

9/9 w/every other Friday off (called 9/80).

Until I dropped to 30 hrs/wk (semi retired)

Now it's three 8s and one 6 a week.

Love it.

I agree with filliam and gadje that where possible, most often in cases of employees not self employed, we should be looking to reduce the time in the work week; otherwise we're just exacerbating a rat race. If you get to call your own hours and they're billable, good for you!

I'd prefer 4/10 for the "work 40 hours weekly" requirement that we should be looking to evolve from, and really like the 9 x 9 one off flexibility.

It depends on what the job is.
In general, 10/4 sounds good.
16/5 for four years unfortunately had lasting repercussions.

I have worked both 5/8 and 4/10 and much prefer the 5/8.

Of course this is doing work that was both physically as well as mentally demanding.

If it was simply an office type job I would probably vote for the 4 tens.

SEVEN 8s one week and 5 or 6 eights the next.

I had seniority so I was off when it mattered most, but good Trade Skilled help was hard to find.

Ten hour days is still 5, 6, or 7 days a week in my line of work.

Overtime is VOLUNTARY. miley-laughing001:

I jumped at the chance when 4-10's were offered. I don't mind working an additional two hours each day in order to get a third day off.

We work 9/80 and it's pretty nice. Would recommend.
