Does anyone have experience of compressed hours? I currently work 8:30-16:30 mon-fri.

My two options are

4 days in 5. 8:00-18:00 mon-thurs

or

9 days in 10. Week 1 8:00-17:00 mon - thurs 8:00-15:30 fri. Week 2 8:00-17:00 mon - thurs. Fri off.

I WFH. My kids are grown, i just want more down time. I work late most days already in a target driven role. Which is better and why? I have a meeting today, planned for a week, i thought i would have decided by now, but im still torn over which is better.. Please help me decide. Thanks

YABU - 4 DAYS
YANBU - 9 DAYS
