public holidays shouldn't be allowed on Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays... move them all to Monday

You have my vote

 

[Doss]

Or Friday.

 

[FootyJunkie]

Or Friday.

Friday is a already a half day for most folks as bugger all gets done in the arvo, move them to Monday

 

[Doss]

Personally if I had the choice I'd happily work 8-6 Monday to Thursday, instead of 9-5 Monday to Friday. Same number of hours, in fact marginally more if you assume the same length of lunch break, and a three day weekend. All win.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Taking a DIL on Friday

 

[ioppolo]

Nah, it's not like I'll probably be doing any work if yesterday is an indication for the week.

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Nah. Saving up leave for holiday later in the year. I'm sure I can slog it out hungover. One of my employees asked this morning if he could have it off LOL gtfo.

Annual Leave requested and approved months ago. Haven't worked on the 27th of January for years.

Take Wednesday off and make it a 5 day weekend.

 

[Chaisa]

It's a day off for me anyway, there's no work for me and uni doesn't start until Feburary.

 

[revival_mode]

I took a leave day like a chump. Should have gone the sickie

 

[HBF]

Annual Leave. Coming back to Melbourne for the long weekend

Annual leave as well.
Heading out of Melbourne down to the coast for the weekend.

Some counties in the US have shifted to a 4 day week - massive improvements in productivity (reasons are mostly speculative), lower impact on local transport infrastructure as you're removing a heap of employees off the morning peak time (one hour early arrival, one hour later departure) and off the road completely on Fridays.

 

[Mofra]

Taking 3 annual leave days to turn it into a 6 day break - intend to party like a mofo and be a zombie most of next week anyway.
Two 3 day working weeks works well.

I would happily work Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri and have Wednesdays off to even out the impact on the roads...if only

Annual leave.

Working from home monday and then superbowl monday off. i think i need SB tuesday off too

 

[perthblue]

Crash Davis definitely will be

 

[Demosthenes]

We had too many people call in sick for PHs on Tuesdays or Thursdays, so a few years ago we introduced a mandatory shutdown for the Mon/Fri affected. People have to take Annual Leave or an ADO.

I'll probably make it in the afternoon if I have too. Better black out the diary now.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Not me. I'm happy we have a public holiday the day after superbowl though.
