Nine nines, every other Friday off.

4/8 would be even better. I expect AI to do a lot of lifting in non-service jobs.

4 tens for sure. Not sure if I would like that to be stacked together with some 4 day breaks or the same day of the week off every week. I

4/10 for me. 5/8 for everyone else.

Since I'm always waiting on "their" deliverables they need to be driven harder.

[Harbourmaster]

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.

Our college goes 4/10 every summer. It's very popular among the 40 hour staff. Interestingly, they run faculty off who come in on Friday's if they don't get permission from a higher-up. They don't care how many hours faculty work during the academic year but for some reason summers are different.

Cost savings. If the buildings are closed on Fridays you don't need security, custodial, can set the temps higher/lower, etc.

I prefer 8/5 for the longer evenings. So many community/volunteer/sport things meet in the evenings. I’m in two choirs, for example, and all 10s would really cramp rehearsals. When the kids were young, evenings were for sportsball practice.

Generally, I’d choose 4 days of 10 hours; Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with Wednesdays off.
That requires only two of those 10-hour-days in a row.

For most people, it'll depend on how much they like their job.

10hrs a day is a long time if one is not happy in their work.

I loved 4/10.

Truth be told, 5/10, with commensurate pay, would have been outstanding.

But 4/10 it was, and it was great.
