Some people get Monday off while others work... Some people get Friday off while others work... It works out assuming management can actually work a calendar and schedule accordingly. I'll guarantee you that efficiency would increase and costs for employees would go down as associated trips to and from work are decreased. It may not be a dream as more and more businesses succumb to the recession. 4 day work weeks cut costs... What they fail to realize is that 4 day workweeks does not mean only 4 open days of business.

I think it’s been proven in many workplaces and documented well. It’s just hard to change others when what they are doing works. It’s hard for them to see the big picture of the added possibilities. (Change is hard for most of us.) So, I’ll just dream… :?
