I’m only able to take a couple a year, but 3 day weekends are amazing. It takes me two days to catch up on life from working like a dog, and it means I get one day to actually enjoy the life I allegedly work so hard for.
You could argue my greedy ass would say the same thing about 4day weekends if 3days was the norm. Perhaps, but I don’t think so - I think there’s something balanced about the 3:4 ratio. My mood and productivity are so much better on the rare occasions I get to experience this.
Instead of taking traditional vacation throughout the year, I started taking as many Wednesdays as I can for this exact reason. I picked Wednesday specifically because no one else is off to need my attention and I can actually focus on my own chores or my mental health.
Two days is not enough for me to get caught up.
That sounds good, but we are strongly discouraged from one or two day vacations. Supposed to take one week blocks. It’s just short enough to not be relaxing and long enough to chew through a decent chunk of time off.
That sucks. I work for a company that does that too but I don’t get reprimanded for doing it this way. I hope you are able to figure out a what works best for you and that they’ll let you take it.
Shut the fuck up, Narayama Murthy.
The mistake was narayama murthy’s mom didn’t swallow the night he was conceived.
Narayama Murthy sounds like an enormous piece of shit.
Narayama Murthy was a mistake.
I keep trying to tell people the pull out method is not 100% effective.
You sully the good name of shit.
Yeah, stuff grows in shit
This is honestly pretty funny stuff.
Just because he is an idiot who never worked a day in his life and so doesn’t know that your productivity goes down significantly without relaxation that doesn’t mean that anyone should listen to that drivel.
It’s not about productivity. If that were the real goal then the entire system would be structured radically differently, given what we know now through actual research. The real goal is ensuring that workers do not have ample time or energy to collectively organize. Make sure they don’t have the time to even think about anything else, and you ensure they damn sure don’t have the time to rebel. The other goal is ensuring there are a significant number of unemployed people in terrible enough conditions to make them desperate, but not so terrible that they are incapable of working. That way if s few stray workers get a bug up their ass about organizing and striking, there’s a reserve army of labor in the homeless and unemployed communities that can step in and scab.
The problem with statements like this is that they only ever seem to be made by narcissists who thinks work is only those efforts that directly benefit them. The end of my “work day” is when I start my other job of working for myself. I manage my home, I take care of my garden, I put effort into maintaining or improving my physical and mental well being, I foster and build the relationships in my life that I care about, etc. All of that is work, it’s just work that I do for myself and don’t get a paycheck for.
Start billing your job for providing support services to their employees
Absolutely nailed it.
Some people would want others’ lives to be embedded into one hierarchy, and that only.
So that everything of importance were decided by people on top of those hierarchies.
Ex-USSR countries show full well why this shouldn’t be allowed. It, of course, was done there accompanied by a different ideology, but.
Shockingly, your brain and productivity improve when you get regular downtime.
(Yeah I know most people want something shorter than a book. It’s a solid read though.)
I’ll read this next weekend 🙃
I’ll eat you next weekend! Mmmmmm, smoked gouda cheese. Lettice. Pickles. Bacon. Squirt of ketchup.
Just need some potatoes.

As you wish
His american colleagues sometimes poke fun at my cousins branch for only working 35 hours a week, taking long vacations and having lots of state mandated holidays throughout the year. When they hire someone new they sometimes comment on how lazy the german colleagues are…
Then they point them towards the numbers and the fact that the german branch is constantly setting the productivity records. They’ve been outperforming the americans by more than 10% for years.
I agree weekends were a mistake.
It should have always been 2 on 1 off, 2 on 2 off.
Sounds sexy
The sexiest.
My wife and I often play this game in bed.
Roll over, roll over🎶
WOW. Sleep and rest are mistakes. TIL
Is immolation illegal?
Self? Kinda. To others? Don’t get caught.
I propose we swap and only work 2 days a week.
this should be the way
It seems that modern society has made “standard” things more standard than they originally were.
At least people having special arrangements and working, say, one job 2 days a week and another 3 days a week, and the third sometimes on-demand, seemingly was more normal 100 years ago.
Of course not the majority, the majority would work their asses off by the clock even more than now.
But there are upsides to a non-synchronous, irregular life schedule. Say, more even load for utilities and transport. Weekends not being special days when half the things don’t work.
And, of course, the ability to pick something you like most. Say, if the pay for 3 days a week somewhere is good enough to keep you floating, even if barely, then why the hell not, it’s worth it.
You’ve got my vote
Infosys is a mistake. It’s a poor choice for anyone.
This. Everything Infosys touches is garbage.
Bruh! Your golf business meetings, lunches, drinks, clubs, gamblin, parties, vacations, and anything other than sitting in front of a computer going meeting after meeting with 5 minute lunch and then coming home to make dinner or do chores and deal with shopping or family issues after sitting in traffic for at least an hour each way and no one driving you all while doing this without extra help is a mistake.
When you can do what we do for the pay we get for at least a whole year, let’s talk. Until then, kindly suck on deez nutz.
