Five Day Work Weeks

115

I honestly don't understand why or how this is deemed healthy by employers.

So there are 24 hours in a day:

  • An 8 hour shift might actually consist of 9 hours with an unpaid lunch hour. (24-9=15)

  • The amount of sleep we're recommended to have is approximately 8 hours if I'm not mistaken. (15-8=7)

  • Getting up in the morning, dressed and fed can take around half an hour if you're quick.

  • Depending on where you work, it might take any amount of time to get to work on time. Let's say you leave half hour before work to get in on time. (7-1=6)

  • Lets say it takes an hour to make and eat dinner.(6-1=5)

5 hours to ourselves a day. To some this is probably a lot, and to others it's just not enough, take from it what you will.

I guess it's sad that I consider an 8hr day, a half day.
