I'll just politely refuse to drive and take the Mon-Fri jobs please and thank you....

Jesus don't start all that again

Better then doing 6 days a week at the moment.

Can we have a Wally week but with 3 of the working weeks being 5 days instead of 6 or is that a non starter?

Any shift I can make the 3pm ko

The Saturday attendances seem to be all shorter at 7 hours so you could be in with a chance depending on start time, also 7hrs attracts only a 30min break which I think you can finish on as opposed to longer breaks 40+

What is the advantage of the 2 in 6 over the 2 in 5?
Who in the right mind would vote that? The office coach has just come back from a meeting at the mail centre and she said the 2 in 6 would be better?!!!

I think for 2 of them the whole office has to be drivers so maybe not suitable for every office

Four day week.

Less days at work also means less travelling time to and from work.
Allot of people spend at least an hour getting ready and travelling to and from work.
Over the course of year that's allot of hours out of your year.
That has to be considered as taking time out your personal life.

Good points.

4 day week = save time and money on traveling. Less time stuck in traffic. More time with the wife.

According to the USO trial office update. The most popular schedule was the 2 in 5 weeks.

The 2 in 5 week option seems to essentially be a 4 day week for part timers and they get ALL Wednesdays and ALL Saturdays (and Sundays) off.

I wouldn't be surprised if this encourages some full timers to drop down to being part time.

Is there a reference or example of this? First I've come across or heard of it and being P/T myself it sounds far too good to be true.

I'd be amazed if this was correct
