I worked for a company that had a staggered 4/10 work week. Some guys worked Mon-Thurs and others worked Wed-Sat. Six days of production and no overtime.

I always wondered how that might work out if the crews rotated every two weeks. That way you'd have a 1 day weekend one week and a 5 day weekend the next - like a minivacation every other week. That is one way to make a happy crew, if they don't screw it up. It might be a good way to attract some of the competitions better help as well. I approached my boss with the idea, but he had no doubt that the crew would screw it up. It worked out well for me because I wound up doing 6/10's more often than not.
