Yes, I Need Weekends

After my previous post about Saturdays, I ran into this one by Tammy Erickson at Harvard Business Publishing, asking whether we need weekends:

"I’d like to see companies re-think the idea of a pre-set “week day” and a “weekend” and look instead at which jobs actually need synchronous activity with what frequency. If the job doesn’t require it, why not let the worker decide his or her own schedule?"

Although I have to admit that I like the idea of rethinking the traditional work week, I still take some comfort in the fact that weekend days that are socially accepted as "days off."
