Does anyone here work a 4-day week or a 9-day fortnight? If so -did you start with five days a week then scale back? Was it offered by your company? Or did you originally start on the reduced days? Doing some research for myself…

Ive done 4 days in a couple of situations. The only thing with doing longer hours over 4 days, to squeeze 38-40 in was that has its moments. There were times I felt like I'd rather it be stretched out. Ive yet to have a workplace that offers a 4 day work week the way that still pays the same but doesn't require big days. Not bad jobs or anything, sometimes it just doesn't work in well. Which is a bummer, because imo it has so much potential.
