Microsoft 4-day week boosts productivity and sales
(This is a duplicate of a story posted this past weekend. I want to copy my comment from it for greater visibility.)<p>Fuck everything about 5 day work weeks.<p>I'll gladly switch to any job that offers a 4 day work week. It's one of the best perks.<p>As someone with ADHD, work days are entirely spent getting work done. There isn't any extra slack or allotment for personal tasks. They're 100% owned by the employer.<p>Weekends offer barely enough time to catch up with chores. There isn't enough time both to catch up and still have fun. I use vacation time to catch up on chores, so that's spent too.<p>I don't want to spend most of my life working. I feel like a slave, and now my youth is almost gone.<p>I don't care if it's a 10hr/4day schedule or a 9hr/4day 8hr/4day with less pay, I want an extra day for myself. I'm an excellent engineer aside from my ADHD quirks, and I'll go anywhere that offers this where I live.<p>My own startup (I almost have the capital for a long runway) will be 9hr/4day.<p>Fuck everything about 5 day work weeks.
