Assuming you were granted the option of working four days a week, which of those two days would you rather was your day off?

Monday. Hate Mondays and I don't mind Fridays because I finish half an hour early plus it's the last day of the week

Friday all the way, working Mondays earns you 4/5 extra days via off bank holidays which is why I have Fridays off

If you don't work Mondays you get an extra day off when a bank holiday happens (or get paid an extra day)

Friday, sometime after being at work all day on a Friday you feel to drained fo do anything (in a pre/post covid world), if you have the day off you have something to look forward too

Definitely here if you never work Mondays you are still entitled to an extra day off (or an extra days pay) for every bank holiday so you would get the Tuesday off instead kind of a thing? So working Mondays wouldn't mean you get extra days off

...Monday for sure and as with Niamh...Monday’s used to be my day off at one time and I would always get an extra day for the first May bank holiday...that was the only one in term time, all of the rest were in school holiday...plus I always liked my day off to be in front of me on a Monday to look forward to and not behind me and over on the previous Friday...

Aw right don’t think it works like that when it’s part time if you aren’t in work normally It’s classed as your day off anyway if you get what I mean, I don’t mind Mondays but then I don’t leave home to work so that helps

...so for instance we know that a person working Monday to Friday on a Bank holiday week would work one day less ...and someone with another day off but not a Monday would also be getting that extra day off, so working 3 days..but someone who has Monday as their day off would still be working their full hours of 4 days and no day less ...so that would be prejudicing against them and taking away an entitlement that had been given to all other staff...for any part time it would be pro rata, as I say ...but it would have to be given as the same and equal to others so no discrimination is there because a specific day had been agreed with the employer... |

i haven't had a day off since new year, but i can choose when i want to work and when i don't. I find work to be a very therapeutic counterpoint to lock down blues, so it works well for me.

A lot of the time, outside of this awful covid period, I can pick and choose the workload I take on.
However, in my work Monday is often the most manic of days and longest. Whereas Friday is more dealing with the next weeks plans and tidy up of the week. So I'm less keen on Mondays of any work day.. Which is why I chose Monday. Last edited by joeysteele; 25-02-2021 at 09:42 PM. |

Back end of the week off is always better than the start. If I miss a Monday then I'm on the back foot all week, playing catch-up and having to pester others to know what's going on. Whereas I can miss the back end of the week with basically no issues. Everyone starts to bugger off at about 2.30 on a Friday anyway. Like people keep their Teams on and respond to questions/emails but you can tell they're not actually doing anything otherwise . It's a company wide unofficial half day.

If you're off on the Monday, then Tuesday just becomes the new Monday with all of the exact same issues

If I had any Choice it’d probably be Wednesday, but out of the two Friday

But you have one more day to recharge to balance up. Plus the fact that it’s easier to get settled back into a work routine when it’s less hectic (as it would often be on a Monday). I think that’s the difference.
