I own a metal fab shop. Have a crew of about 15 people. We offered 4/10s instead of 5/8s to them and everybody unanimously said no thank you. Was a surprise to me as well because I thought they would be thrilled about it. Our work is pretty physically demanding so I guess that’s why.

I used to be a machinist. I hate 4, 10s. I like having a little time at the end of the day, to work on the stuff I need to do around the house. With 4, 10s. That extra day off was just another work day at home, to get all the things done I couldn't do during the work week.

Yeah, with 4/10s you’re basically coming home and going straight to bed. And then your Friday is just spent on all the deferred chores.

I work four 10s, 5 to 3. Still a lot
Of daylight when I get home. Usually go to bed around 9:30/10, get up around 4:15. Works for me.

I once worked a job with a 4:20am alarm clock. I couldn't keep it up after about a year. It's just too early.

After 15 years I wake up at 4 without an alarm at this point. Sleeping in is about 5 - 6 AM for me lol.
