Kizzy I hope the extra hours weren't forced on you, especially if you're feeling run into the ground!!

Anyway I'm not sure how the Star's idea would work - can we expect people to be okay with giving up a fifth of their wages? Or should businesses give them a paid day off a week?

When it comes to big business bloated corporatiins I'm all for the latter maybe a compromise could be making the paid day off tax-deductible when it comes to employees whose coming in carries a carbon footprint.

There's a Scandinavian country or two that enforce strict work limits and it seems to work quite well. I think it's the future really.

If it works as a model then it should be the way forward imo.

I used to work different shifts before, but I love this one.
Because I get three days off a week.

I could do the same work I do in 5 days over the course of 3 days if I spent those days fully concentrating... but I dunno which I prefer to be honest. On balance, I think I prefer 5 days with the option of taking things at a more leisurely pace then 3 intense days and 2 extra days off .

But then, my days off when wife and kids aren’t around don’t look much different to my working days . “Arsing about on the internet all day” either way... just with some work stuff and Teams meetings thrown into the mix on work days.

with people now having the opportunity to work from home, i'm not sure what effect having a 4 day week would have. Are they suggesting we switch every device off on the 5th day, cause that's not going to happen

When I was retail management I could get a full week’s hours done (39 hours) over 3 days... 2x 14h and 1x 11h. It was usually 4 days though, two long shifts and two cushy little evening shifts of 5.5h.

I also worked a full Saturday every week so I had tonnes of weekdays off.

I didn’t mind shift patterns to be fair... though overall I do prefer 9-5.
