Can confirm. I have this schedule at my job now. It is amazing. I get all my grocery shopping and various errands done Wednesday morning when everyone else is at work, and have more time on the weekends. I highly recommend people trying it out if they get the chance.

Or at least work from home that day.

I used to work from home every Tuesday. Couldn't do Weds because we had our team meeting on that day. Have to say though it really took the edge off Mondays and made the remainder of the week a breeze!

But then I can't go on long-weekend trips

Statutory holidays tend to fall on Monday’s where I am - if you don’t work that day you don’t get to be paid for them.

Really? Where I am they're legally required to factor it in. So if you're working Tue-Fri for instance you get a quarter day holiday or something ... there's a few other nuances to it - pension entitlements and the like and it's a bit of a headache for payroll but that's what they're paid to do!

It isn’t as bad as I thought, 4 out of 11 are on Monday, Easter Friday and the rest wonder about. https://www.govt.nz/browse/work/public-holidays-and-work/pub...

So having a flexibility is best then.
