I’m surprised they successfully attempted that and that it resulted to be taken positively. It seems as every out-of-the-norm scheduling idea is so frowned upon that even in small companies you can steer them to anything but the same ole.
I’ve used iso-weeks for this purpose. I don’t really care for dates if I don’t absolutely have to. It’s nice to refer to “week 44 five years ago” in my journals. Truth be told, no one else around me uses the weeks and the only mention to it I’ve heard was not positive.
I’ve heard that Augustus wanted “his own month just like Julius” and that’s how they took 2 days from february for july and august. That way we ended having less months with 30 days. Never did look it up if it’s true.
