They are nut cases... 5 day weekend, what are you going get done on a 2 day week?

Dangit! Mimo beat me to it. I saw this on a news site and then clicked to TSF to post it, but noooooo....

Oh how productivity would tank!

I would be upset if $500,000 of my tax money was spent on this.

WE should be upset, 500,000 bucks of tax payers dollars went to those nut cases.

I'm bored to tears on two-day weekends; I have no idea what I would do to fill the time on a five-day weekend.

Maybe once a month it would be nice. I don't think this could ever work.

**Drew1369** · 05-02-2007, 09:18 PM

please... would this stop employers from making you work the weekend?

I propose that we adopt the five day weekend, and label them Monday through Friday. People shall work or go to school on these days. The remaining two days, Saturday and Sunday, shall be labeled weekdays, and people shall have rest days on these two days, except for private teachers, tutors, and employees of very small companies such as small computer repair shops in the corner of a small street. These parties shall have twice as much work because everyone else has free time on these days.

I work weekends regularlly.

In fact at burger king the weekend (where we are located) is the best time to work cause we literally have like no one come in.

I remember several sundays where we have our morning rush of about 6 poeple. Then the entire day NOTHING. We are then out by 5:30 because well the place was ready to be cleaned 5 hours before that.

In fact this sunday, is going be so dirt easy going have 3 poeple for our store when normally we have 2.

I hate working saturdays though, I like being hangover then not working.
