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.

Appreciate the shoutout!

Over 300 companies now have some form of reduced working week :)
