I do believe that instead of having people work 9-5 like they have done for years I would try running 6-2 instead.
It would make life a lot easier as far as dealing with traffic goes. Anyone that has ever driven through the city between 5 and 6 am knows that it's a ghost town and the traffic isn't too bad at 2pm, either.
I'd try it for 6 months because that's probably how long it would take for everybody to get used to it.
Being able to be home by, say, 3pm would make it easier for people to shop, too.
Still, there are only 24 hours in a day and we have to manage them.
Great idea. I used to work 0500-1330 and loved it. Your points are right on the money. It took about a week or so to get used to it, but once in the groove, it was the best.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think the best shift I worked was from 2400-0830. Very few bosses around on that shift, and driving home was a breeze. YMMV.
that's been going on in most populated areas for many years maybe not in your area oh well
