I think you have it wrong. The few companies Ive heard of doing this are mostly doing it to save themselves costs by shutting down a day early.. Most companies could give a rats arse about employees as long as they are profitable.

on the other hand I personally enjoyed working longer days and getting more days off rather than less days and a few hours here and there..

I already do. We are like two people short and they still insist we don't need to hire someone else.

dks75 WRONG. Many companies switch it out where some get Monday off and others take Friday, that way the ENTIRE week is still covered, and you still only work 4 days! Lockheed Martin actually has 9 hour days and you get every other Friday off. (that makes a 10% drop in commuter expenses)

This however is NOT what Enviromental nuts actually want you to do! They talk about conservation, but when you do that in this fashion you are not purchasing "carbon credits" and you are dropping demand and the tax revenue falls.

Hey gang,,
here's what we found out.. just this week both the Volusia Council of Governments and the Water Authority of Volusia are working 4-10 hour days. Since they weren't able to give their employees cost of living expenses increases due to budget constraints.. they are trying to help them out a bit.
Also... The Volusia County School District will only be operating MON - THURS for the entire summer in hopes of saving on energy.
Hope this helps.
I wish I worked only 4 DAYS!!!!

Hey I wonder if Truthguy tried this? Oh yeah I forgot, billionairs dont have to worry about costs.

I got severly bored after my 3rd year of retirement, So I started my own company and now im back to working 7 days a week.

Im loving it too.

no need to kill yourself-personally I prefer a 4 day 32 hour work week- thats enough work and plenty of family time.it works in europe -can work here. you work to live not live to work.

also many companies now could let you work 1 day a week etc from home but they are stuck in the 20th century mentality(My old compnay included)........

Twizled, that IS ILLEGAL! You should have filed a complaint with the labor board as well as the any other agency that oversees the workplace.

I have done it to companies where I was treated that way too, guess what every single one of those moronic organizations/companies are long gone. Meant I lost my job by getting them shut down, but NO ONE deserves to be treated like that on ANY job, anywhere! And you're right on with the pay here, it SUCKS bigtime.

Everything else continues to increase in price, but shrink in size and your salary barely covers it, if at all!

I'm actually begining to really detest and hate the state(Florida) I was born and raised in due to this "right to work" crap, if it wasn't for that garbage, I think we could and would have far better living wages here.
