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.

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.
