20 days agodiscuss

Are you already listed on https://4dayweek.io?

If not please let me know and I can add you if you like

3 months agodiscuss

During the pandemic I launched https://4dayweek.io on HN as a side project - never would I have imagined 7M+ people would end up using it (!)

So this week I launched v2 of the site after years of "wanting to" - arrival of our daughter and son delayed things slightly...

The site has grown to 500+ companies who offer a 4 day work week (in a post AI world, it's inevitable imo)

To grow more awareness to the movement, I want to expand the site to showcase more companies who offer a great work-life balance (beyond just the 4 day week)

So my question to you:

Does your current (or previous) employer offer a great work-life balance? if so, why?

Think: amazing vacation, suuuper flexible, half day Fridays etc

Would love to promote more companies who truly offer a great work life balance.

Doing this on 2 apps

200k users a month, not huge but not nothing

Why do you think it's a bad schema?

In some ways, the "5 day work week" is a deadline - things need to get done before Friday.

This "deadline" is a forcing function for output.

But do you know what's a better deadline?

The 4 day work week.

It may seem silly - but artificially making the workweek shorter, makes us work faster.

It's Parkinson's Law in action.

Which (tech) companies have the best work life balance?

This is the only Postgres schema you need, change my mind
