I definitely prefer the 4 day to 5 day work week because it gives me flexibility for me to spend time with people and on things that matter to me with the day off. Unfortunately having flexibility can make rostering challenging for the company. I spend about 45-50 hours per week which is really typical of most Singaporeans, not really hardcore workaholic. I would be happy if my number of official work hours can be reduced to 32 hours per week. 8 hours x 4 days instead of condensing the full 36-40hr into 4 days would be ideal. I feel anything beyond 7-8 hours per day of work is counterproductive and people would be just passing time in the office to clock the hours.
Do You Look Forward to a 4-Day Workweek?
Starting from December 1, 2024, Singapore will implement a comprehensive set of guidelines for flexible work arrangements, which includes the option for employees to work four days a week.
The standard working hours in the UK are 5 days * 8 hours, but according to the International Labour Organization, the actual average weekly working hours in the UK are only 36 hours. If compressed into 4 days, it would be 9-10 hours a day.

Would you choose 4 days if you can apply this in Dec.?
Do you think the work system need an update?
