HIGHLIGHTS:  Is the five-day workweek outdated?  30% of CEOs in a new poll said they’re seriously thinking of moving to a four-day, or four-and-a-half-day workweek.

FULL STORY:  Was your two-day weekend long enough, or could you really use a third day off right now?

A new poll of 100 CEOs found 30% are seriously thinking about shifting away from the five-day workweek now.  That’s how many said they’re considering a four-day or four-and-a-half-day week.

Four-and-a-half usually means Fridays are a half-day.  But it depends on your job.  (Starting late on a Monday sounds pretty good right about now.)

A lot of us would even be willing to work the same number of hours to make it happen. 

A poll in November asked people if they’d be willing to work 10-hour days, four days a week.  77% said it would have a “positive” impact on their life, including almost half who said “extremely positive.”
