      I run a company in the U.S. I have about 50 employees, and I’m going to do it for our team. I believe it’s going to give us a competitive advantage, and by demonstrating that my hope is that more organizations will follow suit. I don’t expect it to become law, but I’m not giving in to despair either. If you want change, make change unavoidable.

        Honestly if I saw a job description that said the company has a 4-day workweek it would definitely stand out. Hopefully your employees will see that you genuinely care about them, which is such a rare thing it seems.

      Not legally maybe, but its absolutely the kind of thing tech companies will notice and start to take advantage of. They can hire more staff if needed, no big deal.

            I work 4 10s and while it’s not perfect, it is sooooo much better than 5 8s. The key to making it doable though is working from home and having no commute. When I was in consulting a 9 hour day with commute was doable, but 10 was rough and reserved for special occasions. Now that I’m full work from home, 10.5 (because I have to take a 30 min lunch) is fairly easy.

              I totally agree! Even in a “worst case” of 4-10, instead of 4-8 for the same pay, quality of life skyrockets.
