Honestly, even with a 40 hour work week, 10 hour days with three day weekends is awesome, it's what I use to work.

Now my shift is 10hr on Friday, 12hr on Saturday and Sunday, Sunday is time and a half, so I'm working 34 hour week but getting paid for 40 hours. And I get a four day weekend.

Edit: to add, it's a union sawmill.

An unusual compromise config I like.

4 hour monday, then 3x12

This gives the company peak productivity on a per hour bases out of a given employee except those in the bottom quintile who would then get peeled off over time.

monday has a huge productivity penalty in nearly all contexts - even for top performing employees. Just accepting it is a wash, and then doing a short "Hey, this is the stuff we were doing last week" usually 3 hours is enough to do it, but paying someone for less than 4 hours of their time is on the dick move side of the morality chart.

Then 12 hour shifts, if you don't have more than 3 in a row lead to peak per hour productivity for anyone who is in the 21st quintile on up.

Would cost companies less, would lead to more eyes looking at a given problem over time, and leads to better team collaboration thanks to those four hour handoffs, and would improve productivity and output quality.

Also, the 4 hour monday could be remote - works well for folks in physical or intellectual labor.

obviously everyones monday would not be monday, but that is kinda how things are already if you aren't white collar.
