I don't know about other countries, but where I live the default is working six days a week. Some lucky people work half time on Saturdays. I work five days a week. It's the first thing I tell a potential employer. I've tried to get a four day week, but it's just not happening. I can surely tell you that getting a four day week where I live is 99% impossible. And what gives that that 1% is in my industry?

I'd kill for a four day week, but it just isn't happening in my country. I'd rather have a job (and one I enjoy at that), than not having one. I wish I had a four day week, but I can't because then my family doesn't eat while I look for this utopian workplace (which may not exist) that caters to all my wants.



What country do you live in?


Panama
