I'm lucky to have been able to experiment a bit with this as my work is flexible and I'm in a pretty good bargaining position. I also do a fair bit of unpaid work out of hours.

Having either Friday or Monday I've found to be little different. Having alternating Fridays and Mondays is pretty awesome, 4 days on, 2 off, 4 on, 4 off.

There's a lot to be said for a mid week day off too. I'm looking at moving to a new employer and hoping to go negotiate a 3 day week, maybe Mon-Tues-Thur for example which will be heaven if I can pull it off.

I have a 4 day work week and love it.

"When"? Lol.

I appreciate your optimisim but at least in the USA, this is never happening.

Unless you do something special depending on the day (like going to church on Sundays), aren't the two options the same? They are both 4 up 3 down periods.

I'd willingly want to move down to 4-day weeks in some year even with the reduced salary. I'm privileged enough to afford it, and the time regained is absolutely worth the loss in salary and future pension. I'd like alternating Mondays and Fridays, so every 2 weeks you get a 4-day weekend.

For football fans, the answer is Monday.

Friday because it's already mostly a write off.

Friday is already a holiday here , I want Thursday to join holidays....

Fuck Monday right off I'm invested in Tuesday hate

As a teacher, how would this work for schools?

Not totally relevant because I work 4-on-4-off, but I tell anyone who will listen to me say that the best, most wonderfullest, pry it from my cold fingers part is that I no longer care if it’s Monday. Ever. This is wonderful, even if my shifts fall on one. Because it’s Monday and it’s no longer special and has no power over me. I don’t think I’d have the same passion talking about Fridays.

I have a 4-day work week (32h - fridays off). The 3-day weekend is a game changer.

If we all have the same schedule, Friday, if it varies, Monday. I can get stuff done and everyone is tired and grumpy so I don't have to talk a bunch. People are too... Talkative on Fridays.
