I worked in the Netherlands. They had a 36 work week and asked me how I preferred to arrange those hours. I said: divide it by five please. Apparently I was the first person in their history (3k people work there! 100 years old institution) who asked for that! Everyone took either a day every two weeks off or worked 4x9hrs. A day every week or two is nice, of course, but I generally really like short days better! Doesn't leave me that exhausted and leaves a bit of time for things every day.


Do you know how people usually place their free day? Is it adjacent to weekend or middle of the week?


Wednesday was significantly more quiet at work.
