Work and Halacha Cross?

[gnomi]

Today is the US federal holiday observing New Year's Day, so I am off work. Last week, I had the day off in observance of the federal holiday for Christmas. And the week before, we had Friday 23 December off. This means we had three weeks in a row that were four-day weeks. This led someone in a meeting to propose that we always have four-day weeks, and I said there was halachic (Jewish law) basis for this. We say in halacha that three incidents can be considered a chazakah (precident). So three incidents of four-day weeks in a row could, in fact, set precident.

However, I don't believe my company follows halacha when creating the corporate calendar.

It would be even more amusing since these three incidents were due to the corporate calendar observing the days surrounding the Christmas celebrations.

I would love a four day workweek. I definitely work 40 hours Monday to Thursday as it is.
