When I was hired on my current job a little over three years ago, they had us working a 4/10's work schedule....that is, until this past January. For 2-1/2 years I worked 4/10's and absolutely LOVED IT!!! Then in January they switched us to a shift they call 9/80's where you work 9 hour days Monday through Thursday and then you work 8 hours every other Friday (you have every other Friday off).
Now this 9/80's schedule would really rock if you were used to a 5/8's schedule...but coming off a 4/10's schedule it pretty much sucked! I was used to a three-day weekend every week. Well...as of THIS WEEK...they gave us our 4/10's back!! I chose to work a different 4/10's schedule this time. Now I am working Tuesday-Friday...so I don't have to do Mondays anymore!! woo hoo!!
I am so happy right now! (yes....10 hr days can be long...but on the weekend, they are SOOOO worth it!!!)
