You gotta like four day work weeks! BAM! No Mondays to worry about! BOOM! Already a Tuesday! BING! No Mondays...oh, I said that already! Hey, I wouldn't even mind taking a Friday off and ending the work week on Thursday...According to the website workawesome.com, a four day work week may become the norm in the future. As Generation Xer's grow older and move into positions of authority and Generation Y folks try to do things differently than their parents, an altered work week might be a new way of keeping employees happy in the work place. Sure, hours per day may increase to make up the difference, and people may have to do more work from home, but just think how AWESOME it would be to have a three day weekend ALL THE TIME!!! At least, until we start complaining about how hard THAT is and how we NEED a FUR day weekend just to cope...can you say THANK GOD IT'S WEDNESDAY?
