Its really only the norm for certain industries. I’m just an IT drone, so I still get my 5 8s, but I’ve heard some of the factory floor guys say they like it so /shrug.
I wouldn’t be opposed to doing 4 10s just to have an extra day off, but support gigs don’t generally get that kind of leeway with staffing and coverage issues. But I get to work from home, so I’ll take the extra day a week of work.
In CA you get overtime after 8 hours a day, so 4/12s are quite lucrative. I just plan to do literally nothing but work on those days. Work, sleep, work, sleep. Live life on your 3 day weekends.
I find I’m just as frazzled after 8 hours as I am after 12, might as well get a ton of money and an extra day off.

Eh, I just think 12 is too much no matter how you slice it. I’m in security and after the 8th hour, my brain is fried.
