@ianbetteridge just watch it doesn’t affect your pension

@ianbetteridge did the same a year ago and it’s made a big difference.

@ianbetteridge yeah I’m never going back.

@ianbetteridge I did 4x10 for a year shortly after graduating.
It was a very fun year.
(I know that isn't what you are suggesting)

@essexman That is a very good point

@cmniciosaig Absolutely. And for me I think it will make retiring easier too - I’m only five or six years off it, and I suspect going from five days a week to zero would be a bit of a shock.

@ianbetteridge I'm desperate to find a way to do this. Full time job plus being a carer leaves precious little time and energy for me to be me right now.

@ianbetteridge the company I work for allows a nine day fortnight, as long as the work gets done. A four day week would be even nicer, but it’s a good start and made such a difference.

@ianbetteridge I do but then in my country as a woman you get called “a part-time princess” 🫠

"as long as the work gets done" is NOT working less, it's just more flexibility and if salary is also lowered totally exploitative.

@ianbetteridge @essexman
Honestly, I am more than willing to accept a lower pension (in an far, unforeseeable future) in exchange to a better life right now and during decades. -

@ianbetteridge I honestly think we need to make the 32h work week the new default full time. There’s enough studies that support this change.

@L___ @ianbetteridge salaries didn’t change, and most people find they are more productive during those nine days so there’s been no issue with the work getting done. Everyone likes it.
