I think there are some very real cultural limitations around a 4 day (10 hr) work day. For one, my kids need to be picked up from school and they need to eat dinner.

Perhaps in 18 years, when I'm an empty nester, I can revisit this opinion.

Talking of cultural limitations and extending them to other examples, what if I am able to work 6 days? Can I do 7 hours on 5 days and 5 hours on the 6th to make up the 40? Or how about I work just 35 hours a week?

Why would I do that? ... just saying. Maybe my family needs allow me to spend only 7 dedicated hours (plus commute) for work.

I think the corporations will go crazy coordinating such things. Retail where this happens is quite different and continuity of 1-person to another may not be important there, but in many corporate roles, continuity is important.

Sorry, I wasn't talking about a compressed 5 day week. I was talking about 4 x 8hr days @ 80% of salary. There are many companies starting to offer this, some at full salary.

Oh, I hadn't considered that!
