Irish Affairs

My job could easily be done working 30 hours instead of the 37.5 I work now. My coworkers and I spend at least that much time commiserating over how stressful/dysfunctional our workplace is, and someone calls out sick once or twice a week because of the stress, so those of us who make it in are doing their job in addition to our own anyway. Meanwhile, across the board, everyone reports feeling rejuvenated after 3-day holiday weekends. I think if my workplace could plan around staffing for 4 days rather than constantly having daily schedules shuffled around, it would do wonders for both the employees and the organization.
