I’m sorry, sky news is legit evil. Calling a 4 day week “an attack on the British community”
You know what? [Poor language removed] those parasites, guillotine them and seize their assets

I did four day weeks for four years. I found work life balance so much better with the three days off during the week. But if you did a physical role the long days can be shattering and mentally exhausting.

The biggest benefit of the four day week is holidays, I only had to book the four days holiday and I'll get ten days off.

Whereas on a five day week. You book five days holiday and you only get nine days off.

Think most places who have flexi are wise to this and manage their AL allowances per hrs booked rather than days unfortunately but overall flexi time is such a great option for so many people and companies are going to have to consider it regardless if they wish to retain staff in future.

A 9-5, office based contract should not now be the only available option, it's archaic and only serves the companies rather than the people.

The main reasons I have stayed with my job is due to good home working allowance plus some flexibility on start finish times. I could probably get paid better elsewhere but these perks are massively important to me with a young kid.
Smart employers realise they can save money and retain staff by giving employees greater autonomy.

It's nothing new. Compressed hours us a thing you can request in quite a few sectors, usually at the organisations instigation. It's not that popular from what I've seen. It's well publicised too.

I really don't think it'll cause the problems loads are making out it will.

Flexitime is a far more sensible way to manage work hours. There are certainly times, in most jobs I've worked, when they workload peaks and you need to out the hours in. It makes sense to use banked hours when demand drops.

Work isn't necessarily linear or constant. That scares some people, but it's true. It seems to fill a certain type of manager/director with rage.

My staff work 4 days out of seven, usually having 2 days off together and 1 on its own. The choice was given to them and they all preferred to do it this way.

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

I’ll be honest lads, you do yourselves no favours nor enhance your political objectivity with these sort of comments. It’s more like the response from a rabid dog…no offence like……

Your own fault going down culture war route and regurgitating some Mail or Gebeebies ninny. If you had any political nouse you would have gone down obesity and food industry route and highlighted bigger cause of cancer. And ask why is this being ignored..

I did four day weeks for four years. I found work life balance so much better with the three days off during the week. But if you did a physical role the long days can be shattering and mentally exhausting.

The best shift pattern I ever did ( I was very young at the time though ) was seven nights on and six days off.

It came around roughly every six weeks or so.

The seven nights was hard graft, but that six nights off.

I was single at the time and used to put a days leave on top of my six days off and go for a weeks holiday somewhere.

It was the happiest workplace I ever worked in.

Spot on, they seem to think it`s a license to skive, when most of the time the opposite is true.

4 days on 8 days off was the shift pattern at my last place of work. Granted you worked 96 hours in 4 days but the time off was great.
