What's the Best Day to Take Off for a Four-Day Workweek?
Ask a Question
If you could do a 4 day working week what day would you have off?
Monday for me, as love a few wines on a Sunday night!!
I work with people who do compressed hours, and most will choose Mondays, and others choose Fridays
I do a 4 day week but sadly don't get to choose which day I have off it changes all the time.
Personally I prefer not to have Monday or Fridays for me it's better to have Tues / Weds / Thurs off to break up the week a bit as the longer days seem quite tiring.
My husband worked Monday to Thursday slightly longer hours which gave him every Friday off, it was a standard 37.5 hour week.
When I went part time I took a Friday off as this suited me perfectly and had a nice long weekend.
It might be good to alternate the days off: Friday off one week Monday off the next. This would mean that every two weeks there'd be a four day weekend.
Monday for me to avoid that dreaded Monday feeling plus extends the weekend. I am retired now so every day is a day off!
I do compressed hours over 4 days and have a Wednesday off. Its great as you only have to work 2 days the have one or two days off 
I do a 4 day week I get a Friday off its great we use to work half day Fri but we work a little later every day and take a shorter lunch break to get a Friday off
We do 3 on 2 off, 3 on 2 off, 2 on 2 off and it makes a world of difference from doing the 5 on 2 off I’ve done for 20+ years.
Monday as I hate them! My partner's work tries to give them 3 days off a week but that means they end up working 15-hour days which he prefers not to do.
Fridays of course. Years ago my previous employer allowed us flexible working hours. Bliss.
