Question

Would you be open to reducing the work week from 5 days to 4 days in order to save on gas?

Answer 1

My hours have been cut to 4 days due to horrible economy.

So I make less, it sucks!!

Answer 2

Been there, done that.  worked 4/10s this past year.... saves a days gas, or 90 miles

Answer 3

Another option is what's called a 9/80 - working 80 hours in 9 days...The schedule is 9 hrs/day for 8 days, then 6 hrs the last day - usually a Friday...Every other week, Friday is an off day...This can also be set up with a 'split' work force meaning that the schedule provides for coverage throughout the 2 week period.

One other popular choice is 'tele-commuting' or work from home...Bundles is saved on fuel in this arrangement...Both scenarios are very popular with the staff.

Answer 6

It would save gas only if you don't do any driving on the day your off of work. If you spend more time driving because you are off work, then that won't change a thing.
