Looper Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 I worked Monday to Friday while I worked here in last 5 years anyways and was missing the Friday events in last few months after getting back to regular schedule (due to a pandemic hiccup it was Sunday to Thursday). I am quite happy about it. this is also an experiment as they are suggesting 4 and half day week which is going towards the new progressive norm of 4 day work week implemented in some Scandinavian countries. from Thursday-Friday to Saturday-Sunday it’s a great progress. 1 1 don't drive like its your last one.

munkybizness Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 Same experience as @Looper. I already work Mondays through Fridays and it was easy for me to do drives in the summer (surprise) because they were much earlier and I could be back at work (while inflating 😛) but with cooler weather, I’m now limited to Saturday drives only. A shift to a Saturday+Sunday weekend for the private sector (yet to be rolled out) would mean more drives for me to do, but I enjoyed not working on Sunday when everybody was heading into work. Always felt like a tourist. Guess, not anymore… 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizwanm2 Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) it should be either 4 or 5 day work. halfday work on friday is useless and waste of time. i would rather prefer to cover fridays half day work on other 4 days and take full day off on friday. This will be more efficient and productive. Hope private sector chose this. 🙏 so 3 days for offroad. yay.. but immagine no of cross tracks in area 53 on sunday morning, 😁 Edited December 8, 2021 by Rizwanm2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 and Half work week is for Govt Sector only and with an option to work from home on Fridays (i.e. 4 day work week!) In all likelihood Private sector will have 5 day work week including Fridays, i.e. Monday-Friday. Need to see how some traditional businesses that work 6 days with Friday off will deal with it. May be they will substitute Friday for Sunday or continue with just Firdays anyways. 1 don't drive like its your last one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looper Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 This is the work week for DIFC: Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM (no appointments will be scheduled during the Friday prayer time from 1-2 PM). don't drive like its your last one.
