Weekday split, top two bands only, 19 rows now:
| Requested | n | Median hrs |
|---|---|---|
| Mon to Wed | 11 | 2.1 |
| Thu to Fri | 6 | 26 |
| Sat to Sun | 2 | 31 |
Small n on the weekend row and I am not going to pretend otherwise. But Thursday and Friday against Monday to Wednesday is eleven versus six and the gap is an order of magnitude, which is more than I expected to find.
If that holds it is the single most actionable thing in this thread: request early in the week.
