Show HN: Companies with 4 Day Workweeks
okjob.ioHere today to share something that may be of interest to some of you.
I reviewed existing lists online and other sources and created a refreshed list of companies that hire for 4 day weeks.
A couple of tweaks I made were, first I made sure the reviewed companies offer the true 4 day week (4x8hrs), not compressed hours, which is known as 4x10hrs.
Many companies go through a 4 day week trial and often revert to the old schedule, or they label themselves as a 4 day week company when, in fact, they have a 4.5 day workweek, or it's a seasonal thing where a short weeks happens over a single month in summer - these companies were not included on the list.
Anther rule I followed was that if I couldn't find a mention of a 4 day week as a job benefit on the company's website or directly in a job description, the company wouldn't make the list.
And finally, it's not too common, but some companies offer the benefit of short weeks to certain departments only, or to certain locations (for example, US-based employees only). Those companies are on the list.
I hope this is useful and let me know if you have any feedback. Are these companies where you can work 4 (or 5) days or where everyone works 4 days There is one company (close.com)that gives you the option to work for 4 days @ 80% pay, or 5 days a week for full pay. All the other companies offer a 4 day work week at full pay. https://4dayweek.io is a similar resource
