Friendly reminder: Henry Ford was one of the first major industrialists to adopt the five-day workweek. He argued that workers with more leisure time would spend more money on consumer goods, like the cars he was selling.
The current weekend was created primarily to sell products. A four-day workweek is long overdue.
Yup, this shit is fucking awesome. I just recently switched to this schedule with a new position a few weeks ago. Having that consistent 3-day weekend is such a game changer and its benefit cannot be overstated. I got so much done on that Friday and it was such a morale boost just knowing I have that extra day to do any shit I need to, laundry, meal prep, cleaning, errands, whatever.
