Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure I inform you that I have just been hired onto a new job and it is a 3-day work week. Am much pleased. Believe me, my whole life I've been working 5 or 6 day work weeks working my ass off for very little pay, finally I have this reprieve. In these three days I am earning as much as I would normally earn in five or six days. Again I express my gratitude and I hope someday everyone in the world may feel this reprieve.

What is your trade if I may ask ?

I'm curious how many hours you work in one day? I work three 12hr shifts. It's still better than working that M-F 9-5 nonsense

I work 4 hours a day. Three days a week. My manager explained to me he keeps everyone at 3 days a week so we don't get burnt out. And I'm pretty sure on their end they keep us at 3 days a week so they don't have to consider us full-time employees and pay out benefits 🤷🏻‍♀️ So there's that. I don't need benefits though. I'm a military veteran so I've got benefits there.

Oh, ya. I could work like that, but I need health insurance, sadly.
