Your Workplace switches to a 4-Day-Week. You get to choose which day you want off.

Wednesday. Work is a two day block. Tuesday feels like Friday. Friday feels like Friday. That's the life for me.
As someone who does have Wednesday off, I can say it is pretty sweet. It breaks the week into two two day chunks with either a one or two day in between.
Of course, peart of the reason that Wednesday is nice is that everything is open, but most people are at work, so I can go do things when very few people are out and about.

I've I'm working my current schedule where I get Monday and Tuesday off, then I'd tack on Sunday.
If I had Saturday and Sunday off like a typical work week, I'd choose Friday.

Same here. I don't like working Mondays for this reason - I really wish companies would consider Tuesday-Friday!
I'm taking Mondays off. Friday is already kinda a low key "cruise into the weekend doing minimal work" day so I'd rather eliminate my shitty Monday.
Depending where I was living. If I was in Houston where my in laws live then probably Tuesday. A lot of places to eat we like there would have deals on Tuesdays during the day, I assume to bring more business in during slow days. Also 2 cinemas we go to there have deals on Tuesdays as well with one of them having tickets to movies for $5-6 on Tuesday for any film as long as it isn't opening week.
In the UK I'd just take a day between Tuesday to Wednesday off as it generally is a quieter time to go out to places and have less kids around as well as less people in general making doing things quicker.

Monday, easily.
I don't mind working on a Friday since it's usually quieter, and I'm typically going out for drinks on a Friday so it makes sense to work that day.
Wednesday could potentially work to break up the week, but I see more benefit with a longer weekend.

I work in IT and tried the 4-day-week with Friday off at first for a while. Decided to switch to Monday. Usually I'd get under pressure on Thursday to finish some stuff and often still used parts of my Friday off to finish it and when I didn't I felt bad on Friday. With Monday off, the new tasks/schedule for the week begins on Tuesday for me and the week has a hard end on Friday with everyone else.
+ you still get to share the lazy Friday feeling with everyone
+ you get the "it's Sunday but work does't start tomorrow" feeling

If I was younger I would pick Monday because Sundays are fucking wild where I am from. It's the Sunday night most of the service industry staff is off and many don't work Mondays since it is typically slow. So Sunday Fundays can be a fun time of debauchery.
But I'm an old and boring office guy now so I pick Friday because productivity is shit in my office on Fridays as it is, and I already often duck out for the day at or just after lunch.

I already work a 4-day workweek at my office job (8-hour shifts, Mon-Thu). It is pretty nice compared to when I worked at another company that was a 5-day work week. You might assume that the extra weekend day means more leisure time, but that's not the case at all. It just lets me scatter other responsibilities over an extra day rather than trying to cram yard work, etc. into only two days per week. I'm just as busy Mon-Thu as I am Fri-Sun.
Friday would be nice. But Monday because I play hockey Sunday. Also, more officers open to get shit done if needed.
I think the only issue is that a number of holidays already fall on Monday so you probably already get at least three Mondays off a year already (let's just say MLK Jr Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc).
I agree Friday is normally my chillest day of work but if it isn't it can be hell and basically ruin one of your weekend nights. I find I often don't have enough energy to do social things after a week of work on Fridays. The Wednesday option is intriguing but I think having the block of 3-days for quick trips is better overall.
Wednesday; you basically get two mini weeks. In my experience I get a lot more, both in and out of work, out of weeks where a holiday falls on a wednesday than when it falls on any other day. I think people overestimate the usefulness of three day weekends versus the opportunity to refresh and relax (or get other stuff done) in the middle of the week.
I did have this at my last job and I picked Thursday.
Going back to work for one day is great and it's Friday which means, usually, nothing is happening anyway.
It's almost like having a four day relaxation.

There's absolutely no reason to believe you would get "chill Fridays" in a Tuesday-Friday week but not "chill Thursdays" on a Monday-Thursday week. Either the four days are full work days (becausr, well, you're already getting one extra day off), or the last day is indeed shorter / more relaxed regardless of what Norse god it's named after. :P
Monday for sure. I have no problem working on fridays since the weekend is the next day but Mondays are ' in fact , the WORST.
Friday, always. My weekend starts a day early this way. We have a hybrid schedule:
in office Mon and Wed or
in office Tue and Thur
everyone works from home Friday.
I chose in office Mon and Wed....and it seems like everyone else chose in office Tue and Thur. And I love it. Its only 2 of us on my schedule, and a rarely see them. I love that empty office feeling so much.
And this week, with the holiday I will be at home Mon and Tue, the other folks will be in the office on Tue, and Thur. I only go in 1 day this week.
