The four day work week under consideration in New Zealand. Why not here?

13. Very sane idea whose time has come.

I'm sorry, but I can easily get my work done in 4 days and I think so can most white collar workers. We should have the option. Some of us are just more efficient than others. I don't spend a lot of time screwing around during the week so I get my work done and find myself doing mindless admin work on Fridays, or just taking a half day off.

I am tired of this whole idea of time. You should be evaluated upon the job you do, not on how many hours you clock in. I work with a lot of people who spend half their day goofing off and chit-chatting, yet they stay late and are looked at as "hard workers". However, they have completely pissed their day away doing nothing and have to catch up in the evening or early in the morning, unlike those of us who can get our work done in a concentrated time span.

I'm all for it. If you perform, the time you spend in the office should not make a difference. It is your manager's responsibility to make sure you are measuring up, regardless of how much "face time" you put in.
