    1. No, you’re wrong. But I doubt there are any words that can convince you of your error. So go on, sit at your job for 5 days while the rest of us figure out how to be more productive and do it in 4 days…we’ll mail you postcards from the beach…

    2. I can easily accomplish 100% of my work in 4 days. I can usually do it in 3. I know this because I’ve taken Fridays off for months at a time when I have excess PTO, and it didn’t impact performance at all – in fact I often was more efficient with less time to get my work done, and things would even get done sooner.

      Sure, many jobs simply require you to show up – and they are payed hourly, accordingly. But a large number of jobs are just sitting at a desk with nothing to do or no energy to do it for half of the time you’re “working”
