All our servers and company laptops went down at pretty much the same time. Laptops have been bootlooping to blue screen of death. It's all very exciting, personally, as someone not responsible for fixing it.

Apparently caused by a bad CrowdStrike update.

Edit: now being told we (who almost all generally work from home) need to come into the office Monday as they can only apply the fix in-person. We'll see if that changes over the weekend...

And especially now the work week has slimmed down where no one works on Friday anymore

Excuse me, what now? I didn't get that memo.

Yeah it's great :-) 4 10hr shifts and every weekend is a 3 day weekend

Is the 4x10 really worth the extra day off? Tbh I'm not sure it would work very well for me... I find just one 10-hour day to be kinda draining, so doing that 4 times a week every week feels like it might just cancel out any benefits of the extra day off.

I am very used to it so I don't find it draining. I tried 5x8 once and it felt more like working an extra day than getting more time in the afternoon. If that makes sense. I also start early around 7am, so I am only staying a little later than other people
