You prefer how many work days per week?

[Isibeihaolian]

After trying out part time jobs, I think maximum of 4 working days per week is best. That leaves me 3 days of rest days to catch up with family and friends.

5 work days per week, hardly have any time for me-time after accompanying family and friends.

3 work days per week is the sweet spot for me.
Having some money to spend while having good amount of time to concentrate on my hobbies if I have any. The hobbies if can earn money is best. This is like semi-retirement liao.

No work got money drop down is best. Like the ASK who own hand me down properties

Like the temple ASKs and shophouse ASK.

Never worked a day

think e answer depends on job nature industry nature and structure

Eg construction or maritime we used to hv 6-6.5 days

Then wlb shrank it to 5.5 in 200x
Then schools n gov farther implemented 5 day w wk so some of us practice 5. +1/2 rotation between teammates alws hv 2 on duty
Some fully down to 5 day

Then uk or eu started compressed work week meaning work 4 days longer extended hrs and 5th day u hv rotating staff on vs off staff

For emergency or retail or hospitality or port sv we d almost need to have on 24/7/365 mybfd when it comes to life death critical situation

But as a human pov , I think ideal as lazy fellow 4 days would be great if non busy or slow days

5-5.25 days is good for super busy rush project no end days

5.5-6.5 I ll only do if there is an emergency cropping up once in a blue moon kinda thing which is hardly ever got such thg for most work I ve done .. really no time to think / plan or run errands or serve loved ones only suffice for rest n run rest and run etc

i tell u many in civil service best.

they previously worked 5.5 days. when it became 5 day work week, their leaves stayed at 28 days

then covid become 2 days wfh, some even wfh most days.......... leaves still 28 days. then some max out medical appts, mc and whatever leaves they can find

28 + 14 + maybe another 12-18 med appts....... then maybe + some can even get hospitalization (but that one quite serious liao most likely is real)

so if dont count hospitalization = 28 + 14 (MC) + 12-18 med appts = 54-60 days not working per year + 11 days public holidays = 65 to 71 days not working, some will spam on those days they need to come back to office

oh ya havent count parent care leave, then maybe even study leave, child care leave

so if 1 year 52 weeks come back only a few days per week and then u will see they come back less than half of that time

new leave scheme much lesser at 18 days only then + 1 more day after dunno 3 or 5 yrs

that s a noble profession to be in... n healthcare is a more intensive one than other services cos ppl come to healthcare places when they need medical attn

Salute and Jiayou !!

12 hr shift also quite strenuous.. it means u r hardworking n fit

[Keeptrucking]

Four days work week is great. Three days would be perfect.

Think about it. Our time on earth is limited. But we spend five days out of seven days working. But there is so much of the world to see, so much of life to experience and most importantly so much more you can do with your loved ones as we all hv limited time.

It is sad and pathetic. The person who came with 5 or 6 days work week sld be shot.

agree w many of yr points but ppl those days came from post war era and surviving or eking out a living for oneself n ones family is most impt
Last time don even hv leave .. it's got work got pay no work no pay byeee kinda thg

Provisions shops let ppl otang $ till they take their pay by end of week or end of fortnight back then

[No guessing game]

If i have passion over something i can work 5 Days 12 hrs plus additional ot during free time. No joke. I will place that thing priority over anything else

[GhostZM]

Life is short..so I think out of 7 days a week, we shouldn't work more than half

Therefore I voted for 3 work days..


CheerS!!!😉

Zehzeh I am not noble cos I am not giving free healthcare services. Noble or not depends on the person mindset when working, or dealing own interpersonal relationship. Cos within healthcare also many cb lang.
