Subject: Anyone work 4-10 hour days?
I don't do this very often myself, but it's an accepted workday option here
at my company. Sometimes people do it in order to take a day off without
taking it as vacation. Here in New York City people tend to work long
hours anyway--fifty or sixty hours a week isn't at all uncommon. Whether
they're working productively is another question. When you add it in with
the commutes folks are doing (an hour commute is very common), you're
talking about some loo-o-ong days.
My 2 cents,
