A Four Day Week?

Hmm, my company along with many others are trying to implement cost cutting measures in the "current economic climate". They have just offered the "opportunity" to take unpaid leave or a temporary reduction in working hours.

I'm seriously tempted to reduce my hours to 4 days...can I cope with a 20% pay cut for the three months allowed......hmmm

  1. If you can afford it I would do it! Perfect time of year for an extra day off a week! time to me is so much more important!

  4. It sounds like a great opportunity if it doesn't put you under too much financial pressure. A much better balance to the week in my view. I'd snap their hands off!
