    It’s not mentioned much but there is a huge psychological boost to working 4 days a week

    5 days a week feels like a week but 4 days only feels like half a week

      I work in a role that’s 12h shift. With an average of 2.8 shifts a week when stat and holidays are accounted for.

      I dread the day that I can’t do the nights anymore and have to move into a 4 or 5 day a week role. With the nights sometimes it doesn’t even feel like I lost the whole day on each end of a set.

      They specifically don’t want a psychological boost. They want us beat down, exhausted and miserable so we can’t fight them.
