Awesome, sounds like a resounding success!

So obviously the next course of action is to cancel it and to go back to 5 days right?

Pandora is out of the box now, she ain't going back in. Plus I still work Fridays and I like the peace and quiet along with not having to deal with people at least one day. But when necessity requires a Friday production run everybody lines up to work that shift since their getting overtime pay that day.

Not trying to offend or anything, but Pandora was the one who basically owned the box. She can't go back in :))

The story was basically that she was given a box from the gods full of all sort of evil shit. She opened and cursed the world.

Honestly, just put it on a shelf and forget about it. Maybe use it as the leg of a desk or something lol

And for full pedantry points, it wasn't a box - it was a jar! 🧐

u/Urbanexploration2021 20d ago

Fair enough lol =)))

Tbh, a jar is a box with better marketing.

Are you hiring?

u/ihopethisisvalid 21d ago

Basically all road maintanence in my city is done with 4x10.

The reason? We city boys don't know how to hold a shovel, so all the guys doing the work are shipped in from the countryside were people learn how to drive a tractor before they learn how to write. Most of them go home to their hometowns in the weekend because of the cost and their families.

Road crews where I live work up to 24 consecutive 16-hour days. They have a section carved out in the labor laws for them. Only a few months a year to work on asphalt up here.

Dude, you show a stunning lack of imagination concerning the stupid shit managers are capable of. Never underestimate humans capacity to screw up a good thing!

u/Ngete 21d ago

At my work we do 9 hr days mon-thursday with Fridays being on/off with on days being 8 hr days, I enjoy it a fair bit but def would be open to doing 4 10s

u/CookieMiester 21d ago

That’s a hilarious way to put it, pandora is out of the box and she aint going back in

u/underisk 21d ago

My old job used COVID as an excuse to kill their 4/10s schedule after years of the execs hinting that they wanted to drop it and asking if anyone wanted to swap to 5/8s (no one ever did).

u/Turbulent_Voice63 19d ago

I need to be the guy who actuallies you, but Pandora is the woman who opened the box, she wasn't inside it

u/Outrageous-Nothing42 21d ago

No now you take your success and cash out to private equity, then they milk it for everything they can before it collapses

u/Real_Board_9313 21d ago

Not just go back to 5 days but 5 days 10 hours each.

u/RecordAway 21d ago
