I used to have a 5-9's schedule. I was able to get 3 day weekends every other week. That was awesome, I wish more places offered that flexibility. Though, I really would not mind considering 32 hours a full work week either. I just don't see that every flying in the USA.

>Moving to a four-day work week without losing pay leaves employees happier, healthier and higher-performing, according to the largest study of such an intervention so far, encompassing six countries1. The research showed that a six-month trial of working four days a week reduced burnout, increased job satisfaction and improved mental and physical health.

It makes sense. Whether employers will go for it or not is a different story

At this point I would go for them changing the rules that if you are "on-call" then you are paid overtime, no exceptions. If I get a bad on-call shift I could end up with a 80+ hour week easily. I already don't get paid over time when I am not on-call but even if they just required it for on-call I would probably make a extra $60k/yr.

4-10s is great.

I have done 4-10's but working in tech that quickly became 5-10's without overtime pay and then just more from there with on-call. I have refused to do it since. The 9-80's worked for other reasons and didn't turn into 10's but it was a different place and a different time.
If I could actually get the company to stick to a 4-10's I would be fine with it. Especially with being on-call. Nothing like having a job that doesn't pay overtime and working at least thousands and thousands of hours of overtime over the years that you are not paid for.
No, I was not "highly compensated" either. If you were paying me 500k/yr I would not give a shit. Getting paid 45k/yr and running 100 hour weeks will really piss you off over time.

I get that. I was working nukes. 4/10s, no overtime unless absoloutly neccesary.
