Four Day Workweek Tech Jobs?
I'm interested in joining a tech company that is experimenting with a four day workweek. Do you know of any organizations running on a four day workweek or similarly structured schedules?
And, for larger discussion: do you think the four day workweek will become more prevalent in the tech sector? Why not start consulting/contracting on a project basis? You can set your own hours and try out the four day work week. In my experience, not much work is done on Fridays...so most people work 4 days and are paid for 5. Basecamp during the summer months... but good luck getting a job there. > And, for larger discussion: do you think the four day workweek will become more prevalent in the tech sector? No way - a five day work week with eight hours per day (minimum) is too ingrained into our working culture. "Tech" has nothing to do with it. 30 Hour Jobs[1] is a pretty good resource, I'm subbed to the newsletter as well.
[1]https://30hourjobs.com/ Dolby has a 9 hour workday and a Friday off every other week IIRC. Raytheon does this as well. At least they did 15 years ago. How do I apply?
