4 day work week in exchange for working weekends.... they obviously didn't interview the brightest lot there

How so? It doesn't seem too off to me that 1/4 of people would prefer working, say Wed-Sat (4 days) over Mon-Fri (5 days) I'd happily sacrifice a Saturday off in exchange for two weekdays off, all else equal.

Honestly having weekends off sucks. I used to use my days off to go to the bank and other such chores. My last job I got weekends off and I absolutely hated trying to plan stuff around my work day.

Weekend night life also sucks it's all far too loud. I'd much rather a quiet pub on a Wednesday evening for a couple hands of cards.

I guess it depends how social you are. Having Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays off might not be so bad.
