When Bill Kowalcic first heard that his company Advanced RV was trying out a four-day workweek, he was filled with questions.

“All of us were a little nervous — like, are we going to be able to get our work done? Are we going to do OK? Is this going to hurt us?” says Kowalcic, a skilled craftsman who works in the finishing department.

A year and a half later, he has answers.

Not only has his team found shortcuts and time savers, he’s happier on the job.

“Gosh, it’s been great,” he says.

“I’ve never had a job where I’ve said this before, but at the end of the three-day weekend, I’m ready to come back in Monday morning.”

      Sometimes I do 3 hours, and yes, that’s embarrassing to me.

      Why? If you do all you need to do, there’s nothing embarrassing about it. You shouldn’t be so beholden to a company that you feel guilt over them paying you the same amount to finish work in 3 hours as they would in 8 hours.
