Lots of companies allow a 4x10 work week.

A five day, 40 hour work week is totally arbitrary. If these guys can make a 4 day work week work for them, all the more power to them.

Our plant has been doing that for years. Four x 10 hour work days, three days off. Shifts alternate so they take turns getting weekends.

We get the same amount of work hours out of them and more productivity.

With so many of today’s employers hungry for workers, a four day work week may quickly catch on. The comment about “work theater” is all too true, with so many workers in government and large corporations being slackers who are too cemented into place to easily fire or otherwise shove to the side.

"Bolt founder and CEO Ryan Breslow told CNBC that workers were overwhelmingly happy after the initial three-month run, with 94% of workers wanting the program to continue."

And 80% really liked the free alcohol, too.

I was working a 10 hour day for four days back fifty one years ago.
What made it good back then was Friday and Saturday were 8 hours of time and a half overtime!

People would say I was chasing money. Actually I was fleeing poverty.

Really?
The company pitches its offering as a universal login credential that will allow e-commerce sites to compete with Amazon’s speed. Bolt said that once shoppers sign up, including providing shipping and payment information, they can quickly log into any site using its software and complete a one-click purchase. “Bolt has the opportunity to be one of the most impactful e-commerce solutions in the world...

Bolt, which makes money by getting a 2% cut of purchases made through its one-click checkout...

Sounds like a solution for another problem that doesn't exist. Seems to me just another landing spot for the ever-ongoing "quantitative easing".

I worked 4x10 for a few years when I was much younger. Loved it.
