I’m doing my part. I shifted to a zero day week.

For once I’d be happy. Come Friday I’m usually already at 42 or more hours.

4-10s is the way to go! I loved that schedule, even if you occasionally had Sat, Sun and Wed off.

78 have taken us up on it,

And on day 5 they jump in their boat and run 30 gallons of gas through the motor.

I work 9 hour days with every other Friday off.
Doesn’t save me any gas though. Instead of driving 6 miles to work on that Friday, I drive 30 miles to a shooting range!

The reason is simple: rising gas prices.

The reason is simple: Three day weekend!

It also aims to cut the county's energy bill by having less employees in the office at a time, Horsley said.

Horsley is IGnorant. That's right, a Capital IG.

Our company took the opposite approach, insisting that we commute home during lunch, then back to finish the day.

And we LIKE it that way.

I shifted to working from home.

Happy hour starts a little earlier than it used to.

4 days = 10 hours. And you get a three weekend.

If you only have to drive 6 miles to work, there's a simple solution. It's called a bike.

Cuts your gas bill by a whopping 100%.
Takes half an hour one way, which is only slightly more if you consider traffic, parking, etc.
All the exercise you need.
P*sses off Saudi terrorist supporters.
Long term side effects: Longevity, physical attractiveness. (Also p*sses off terrorists to see you happy and healthy.)

I worked night shift at my last squadron and we regularly worked four tens (actually, 11s or 12s). Loved having three day weekends (or four days with holidays).

I'd rather work four 12 hour days than five 8 hour days. I had a previous job with four 10s with 2 days off together and one day off in the middle of the week. That was nice as well. With more and more companies operating 24/7 or open seven days a week, it doesn't seem too difficult to break away from the traditional five 8 hour day work week.
