The 4 day work week is something we all dream of. In the town of Swampscott, town employees went from a standard five-day workweek to four days three weeks ago. “Everything that we’re doing into four days I think gives us the ability to unpackage that over a three-day period,” said town administrator Sean Fitzgerald. Now the employees are working the same number of hours as their work days are extended.

Is this something you'd want in your work place?
