I’m pulling for Monday. Friday’s already mostly a write-off.

    Those are the only two days you could have picked where it wouldn’t make a difference. Either way you have 4 consecutive days of work followed by 3 free days.

      Tuesday would immediately become the new Monday and everyone would get the Monday scaries. The start of a series of work days will always be a bummer, no matter what you call it.

        We did four 10s at my last job, rotating every quarter whether you had off Monday or Friday. Personally I much preferred working the quieter Monday to the boring Friday. Tuesday became the new Monday as that’s when everyone was back in office. I didn’t feel the quiet Monday when you had half-ish the staff working was too bad, but the quiet Fridays really dragged. Quiet Monday was a nice ramp up to Tuesday, I got a lot of shit done on those Mondays.

        I’d say there is a difference to which day you choose off. It doesn’t seem like there would be a difference but I definitely felt it.

          Ok, I wasn’t considering a rotation where the workplace would be partially staffed Mondays and Fridays. That makes a lot of sense. I was imagining everyone having off Saturday-Mondthatn a more universal weekend, which I think would not be practical for getting things accomplished. In that case I see what you mean about Mondays.

        I wouldn’t be opposed to the idea of having wednesday intermission instead of a 3 day weekend.

        But the proper thing to do would calculate which weekedays have the least amount of fixed holidays and then pick one of those.
