    I have a 7-hour work day and a 5-day work week. I make less than I did at my previous (8.5-hour/5-day) job, but I’m much, much happier. Highly recommend working less if you can swing it.

    I do agree that coordination is a PITA. But, 7 hours is doable and it’s not like I’d be actually productive for an extra hour a day. My brain goes to mush.

    Some of my coworkers work longer days and take every a day off every other week. As long as they work 70 hours a biweek they’re good.

      I don’t mean to say that no-one would choose to work less, or that doing so is a bad idea. Heck, I’m unemployed and not actively looking for work right now myself.
