The Gambia has shortened the work week, making Friday a day of rest. Is this the perfect pattern for a working week? In the tiny African nation of The Gambia, public sector workers will now clock in at 8am and clock out at 6pm, Monday to Thursday.
They'll still do a 40-hour week but have the luxury of Friday off. President Jammeh wants the extra rest day to "allow Gambians to devote more time to prayers, social activities and agriculture" and ride their bikes ( I added that bit lol) [smiley=thumbsup.gif] :P
When living in the Highlands I worked a 4 day week in the oil yards for a number of years. Friday was a voluntary overtime shift and it was great if I wanted to go somewhere for a long weekend.
I appreciate that a 4 day 40-hour week would not be appropriate for some sectors, but do you think this could work here? From a biker’s perspective, a nice bimble on a sunny Friday? 8-) [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
Anyway, just a thought.
