Most state workers in Utah shifting to 4-day week - USATODAY.com
What do you think about this? As an employee, I would definitely want to do this if my employer offered this. As an employer, I hate it. Three days is a lot of time for a company to have no activity. Especially, if you work with other states that are observing 5 day work weeks, this becomes a real problem for scheduling meetings and calls.
BUT, can you imagine how wonderful it would be to have three days off every week? What do you think? Would you want to extend your days to 10 hour work days to get that extra day off every week?

Did it once for a few months. It was great. Got off on Thursday evening till Monday morning. Ten hours didn’t really make the day that much longer when it’s only 4 days per week.

Of course it is in Utah. Those guys need more time to spend with their multiple wives.

Only a few types of businesses can withstand eliminating a day out of the work week. This reminds me of the bright idea schools had a few years ago to eliminate school in the summer and have school all year round. There was no conformity among the states and it left a trail of kids who were behind in school if they moved to a state that was not on the same schedule. This is too idealistic.
