[QUOTE="Fantine, post: 77263865, member: 114159"] Usually the number of hours remain the same but are compressed into four days. When I was first married, commuting from Queens to Manhattan on the subway each day, I would have killed for a four day work week. I'd walk a mile to the subway (in heels), stand on the subway 45 minutes (in heels), and climb several flights of stairs and walk several blocks to work (in heels.) Sometimes I'd be so exhausted I'd walk to Radio City Music Hall and take the express bus, which offered me a seat and A/C guaranteed, but it was a longer trip becasue of traffic. I am sure the time and cost of commuting in places like California influences a 4 day work week decision. If you and a spouse had different days off, you could cut day care costs by 40%. Wow. It has been common around here for hospital staffers to work 3 days, 12 hours for quite awhile. I think it's a great idea, especially in areas where commuting is a huge, time-consuming burden.
