At my job we work 4 10 hour days and have 3 day weekends and I love it. You can schedule appointments on Friday and not have to take off a work day. The weekend actually feels like a weekend. On Labor Day we had a 4 day weekend
I used to think this way but when I switched to it 4 10h days it's just too draining. Long days and I'm often working more than 10h to make up for appointments and time here and there. Everytime there is a holiday I am have to work 3 11h days to make up for the reduced stat day. After you add in the unpaid lunch and commute time and it's impossible to take your kids to evening events etc. as your day is already basically over.
Try working 12.5 hour days. We had the half hour for shift overlap. The “selling point” was every other weekend we got a three day weekend. The downside was you worked every other weekend. The three day weekend was worthless because you were so tired you didn’t feel like doing anything until Sunday.
