Sure, the council gets 52 long weekends, but the real win is the Friday queue at the tip shop — now with 100% more existential dread.
NSW council to give staff 52 long weekends a year with 4-day week trial
Murrumbidgee Council in rural NSW will trial a four-day work week for 15 months, compressing the standard 38 hours into four days so staff get 52 long weekends. The council hopes it boosts productivity and attracts workers, though community opinion is split, with some residents questioning how services will fare, especially in winter. Essential services will remain staffed on Fridays.
