Has anyone worked this? My job involves a long commute. My request to do a four day week was refused. I then suggested compressed hours over four days a week, also refused. The boss seemed puzzled by compressed hours, so I explained it with the example of someone who does, say 4.5 days over 4 days. Somehow he thought I was asking for a 4.5 week, and he suggested Friday afternoons off. And he said he would think about it. I am wondering if it would make more sense to have every other friday off to cut down on the commute and to avoid a sense of "popping" into the office for a morning every week ie. either be there a full day or not.
