WWYD? Work hours

[HappyGoDucky]

Would you choose option 1 or option 2-

Option 1
Wednesday 10.00 - 7.30 (across 2 locations on same day)
Thursday 10- 7.30 (1 location)
Friday 11-2 (across 2 locations on same day)
Sat 11- 4 (1 location)

Or

Option 2

Wednesday- 10am - 7.30pm
Thursday- 10am- 7.30pm
Sat- 8am- 4pm

Travel and breaks are within those times. 30 mins travel between the two locations. I'm paid hourly, option 2 is 30 mins more per week than option 1. I've historically always worked Saturdays.

Wwyd? TIA

Option 2 as you are working less days

Woops, option 2 should say Wednesdays at both locations, thursday and Saturday 1 location.

Option 2. The 3hrs on the Fri is annoyingly across the middle of your day so I’d rather just the 3 longer days.

1. Are you paid travel time?

How important is a Saturday lie in for you? Do you like to go out on Friday nights?

Option 2. I think less days is better even if longer days.

Option 2 100% you'll be grateful for the extra day off rather than having 2 short days. That will be inconvenient.

Unfortunately not.

Option 1 are my current hours. I'm used to Saturday lie ins but I can get those on other days. I tend to go out Saturday evenings these days. My DC are more or less off my hands now.

Option 2, no question. Fewer days is better than shorter days.

Option 2, the Friday hours are smack in the middle of the day

2, less days and travel

Option 2 looks to be winning at the moment. The only down side I can think of is that the long days are hard going- I will get 1/2 hour break midway through the day but the job in its nature has 100% concentration fir its entirety, no quick coffee breaks, no chats whatsoever, no toilet breaks, it's go go go every second.

Option 2 for me also

Option 2

Thanks all. I have opted for 2. Option 1 are my current hours. I will have more time to myself and less rushing between jobs, will be financially better off too. I had a slight wobble over the decision (even though it looks a no brainer) as I've only just recovered my hours to resemble something that works after the pandemic.
